Abstract


Sprinkler irrigation has become an economical irrigation method both in terms of water use efficiency and crop productivity. For an established sprinkler irrigated cropping system, it is essential to identify season wise crops and intercrops to be included in the cropping sequence. Greengram due to its increasing demand, shorter duration and lesser water requirement, can be accommodated at any stage of the sequence without dislocating other crops. Though it is a drought tolerant, requiring less input and care, irrigation and application of fertilizers etc. are essential to exploit the production potentiality of greengram. Ascertaining the proportion of influence of different crop production factors in enhancing the yield attributes and yield, sprinkler irrigation will open way for formulating future strategies
