Irrigation was turned off during seed development for two weeks to generate a condition of drought stress (14 days from sowing). While the soil naturally dried during the maturation process, soils at the seedling stage were given 25% of the entire water requirement (5 percent). Other corn-...
Farmers with well irrigation cultivate the Kuruvai crop since canal water reaches the delta by the last week of June or the first week of July. Samba season starts during the first week of August and ends in mid-January, which accounts for the highest share of cropped area (Table 1) ...
