A study to find out the water requirement of Chilli crop and its response to drip irrigation, has clearly revealed that by adopting drip system of irrigation in the place of the conventional furrow system, economy in water utilization to the extent of 62 per cent can be achieved. Besides the huge water economy, the yield was increased by about 25 per cent and weed infestation was reduced by 50 per cent. Though the initial cost for laying out this system may be on the higher side for small and marginal farmere." considering its water use efficiency and economy it is not so.
