Maximizing water productivity is one of the most important police in developing countries like India. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the wheat yield response to drip irrigation systems and the attributed water use efficiency and saving water indices under clay loam soil conditions of semi tropical regions. A field experiments was conducted at the field of Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya (JNKVV), Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India, during the rabi seasons of 2011-12 to study the effect of drip irrigation on water productivity and yield attributes of wheat crop. Results revealed that water saving of about 9.7% higher in case of drip irrigation compared with the solid-set sprinkler irrigation system. The wheat grain yield and 1000 grain wt.(test wt.), data indicated that in drip irrigation grain yield was 12.14% and test weight was 17.86% more than the sprinkler irrigated wheat. However there was a slightly reduction of 2.08% in biological yield. This may be due to the wheat plants had exposed to higher waterstress during the growing stages. Data also revealed that water productivity of drip irrigated wheat was 21.76% more than the sprinkler irrigated wheat. It can be concluded that the alternative irrigation system (drip irrigation) has an effective way for irrigating intensive field crops, but more studies have to be conducted under similar field conditions.
