  1. Seasonal evaporation of water from soil (SEP), Seasonal transpiration (STP), Seasonal crop water use (SET); difference between SET and seed yield for FI and each of other treatments (Δ). Means of the yields, SEP, STP, SET and yield with the same letter are not significantly (P > 0.05) different at 5% level based on Duncan multiple comparison of means.
