Abstract
In many rainfed areas a rainy season crop is followed by a post rainy season (rabi) crop and the yield of the latter is directly related to the profile-stored water at the time of its sowing. Mulching is known to help increase soil moisture storage. The yields of dryland crops are also limited by availability of nutrients, particularly nitrogen. We studied the effect of organic mulching in rainy season maize or fallow on the yield of maize and the yield and water use efficiency (WUE) of the following wheat fertilized with different rates of N.
