This study was undertaken from Rabi 1989-90 to Kharif 1992 on a non-saline, non-sodic sandy loam soil under the command of SCARP South Rohri Tubewell H-6/C-3, delivering brackish water. Taramera-sorghum (fodder) crop rotation was followed with five treatments viz. T-1: irrigations after every 15 days with canal water and determine the soil moisture depletion, T-2: irrigations with canal water at 60% soil moisture depletion (control), T-3: pre-sowing irrigation with canal water and subsequent irrigations with tubewell water at 60% soil moisture depletion, T-4: pre-sowing irrigation with canal water and subsequent irrigations with tubewell water at 30% soil moisture depletion, and T-5: all irrigations with tubewell water at 60% soil moisture depletion. The infiltration rate of the soil increased under all the treatments during the course of the experiment except T-4. A maximum increase of 47% was observed in T-2 followed by 29%, 8% and 6% in T-1, T-5 and T-3 respectively while a minor decrease of 1% was observed in T-4. The electrical conductivity of the soil decreased in canal irrigated plots while an increase was observed in tubewell irrigated plots both at 30% or 60% soil moisture depletion. The SAR of the soil decreased in all the depths of each treatment except T-4 where a minor increase in lower depths was observed. A significantly higher yield of taramera grain and sorghum fodder was obtained from T-2. Crop yields were not significantly different at 30% and 60% depletion using brackish groundwater, either pure or pre-sowing irrigation with canal water.

The study was undertaken at two research sites on 0.4 hectare each of non-saline, non-sodic medium textured soils, each site with a different watertable depths of 0.5-1.0 m and 1.0-1.5 m respectively since Kharif 1989 and completed by Kharif 1992 with cotton-wheat crop rotation with following treatments: Three types of broad beds viz. 105 cm, 180 cm, 255 cm with two, three and four rows of plants respectively in case of cotton and 70 cm, 95 cm, 120 cm broad beds with three, four and five rows of plants respectively in case of wheat were tried. Three furrow configurations viz. FC-1 of 30 cm, 20 cm, 15 cm, FC-2 of 37.50 cm, 25 cm, 18.75 cm, FC-3 of 45 cm, 30 cm and 22.50 cm of top width, bottom width and depth for both the crops were tested. The experimental area was equally divided into 27 plots at each research site watertable depth and the different broad beds, along with furrow configurations, were randomly selected purposes. First and subsequent irrigations were applied at 40% and 50% soil moisture depletion in top 15 cm and 30 cm soil depths, respectively. Recommended cultural operations were carried out for both crops. Significantly higher seed cotton and wheat grain yields were obtained under both watertable depths from the treatment with 105 cm bed size with two rows and 120 cm bed size with five rows of plants respectively. This was followed by 180 cm and 255 cm with three and four and 95 cm and 70 cm bed sizes having four and three rows of cotton and wheat crops respectively. Wheat and cotton crop yields did not respond significantly to various furrow configurations. The data further revealed that the delta of water used by the crops increased with the widening of bed sizes. There was more pronounced groundwater contribution for both the crops under 0.5 to 1.0 m watertable depth as compared to 1.0-1.5 m.
