An experiment was conducted to determine water requirement and response of wheat varietiesHD-2894 and HD-2967to irrigation at 50% soil moisture depletion (SMD) level. Moisture contents for irrigation were recorded from a root zone of 90 cm (from five depths viz., 0 – 15, 15 – 30, 30 – 45, 45 – 60 and 60 – 90 cm). Data on meteorological parameters like temperature and rainfall were also recorded. The results indicated thatyield was significantly affected by no. of irrigations as well as varieties. Both the varieties gave significant response up to three irrigations (I3) only. The total amount of water applied up to three irrigation was 27. 5cm.The yield obtained at irrigation level (I3) for variety HD-2894 and HD-2967 is 4.4t/ha and 6.0t/ha and the water use efficiency (WUE) was 161.4 kg/ha.cm and 217.8 kg/ha.cm, respectively.
