Abstract This paper reports the result of field experiments conducted in Agricultural Engineering Department Farm, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India to estimate changes in water flux below the root zone of a peanut crop with varying irrigation levels in a lateritic sandy loam soil. The magnitude and direction of moisture flux around the root zone were considerably influenced by levels of irrigation and time.
