Abstract


An attempt has been made to explain the differences in yields between planti irrigated by drip method using different emitters along with furrow irrigation. The cost per hectare by using the hole and socket as well as microtube emitter is about Rs. 6250/- The cost per hectare of the polythene hose is about Rs. 3600/-. But in this method; the yield is not upto the mark and is also not suitable for areas of high wind velocity Besides this can be used for a long time. By adopting drip irrigation with hole and socket or microtube emitters using alkathene pipes, the area of cultivation can be increased by three times with the available water and is one of the host methods for achieving high yield as well as better water use efficiency.
