Field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (U.P.) during Rabi 2016-2017 on silty loam soils to study the “Consumptive use, Water use efficiency and Economics of Rabi Maize as Influenced by Planting geometry and Moisture regimes”. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four planting geometriesviz., 60× 10 cm, 60 × 15 cm, 60 × 20 cm, 60 × 25 cm and four moisture regimes viz., 0.6 IW/CPE ratio, 0.9 IW/CPE ratio, 1.2 IW/CPE ratio, 0.9 IW/CPE ratio up to silking and 1.2 IW/CPE ratio for rest of the crop season which were replicated thrice. Results showed that Consumptive use (cm) was more in 60 x 10 cm spacing and 1.2 IW/CPE ratio. Maximum WUE was recorded in 60 × 25 cm spacing and 1.2 IW/CPE ratio. The highest gross return, net return and benefit-cost ratio were recorded with60 × 25 cm planting geometry and 1.2 IW/CPE ratio.
