Climatic variation is the major factor which affects on the Indian agriculture economy. Increase in irrigation potential may be increasingly more difficult and expensive day by day in Indian continent. It is a need of India to develop of an irrigation system which gives the right amount of water at the right time for the crops at minimum cost. Indi...

... selected for this experiment under Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sindhudurg, (Sindhudurg Zilla Krishi Pratishthan, Kirlos Trust) At Post Kirlos, Tal. Malvan, Dist. Sindhudurg, State: Maharashtra, India. Out of the total land 1000 m 2 (50 x 20) m 2 area and Mango species (Mangifera indica); Devgad Hapus (Alphonso) species was selected for the case study because; Alphonso mango is the main driver of the local economy of the entire district. Total numbers of 15 species were planted at 10 x 10 m .spacing. Total 15 Nos. Waste oil cans purchased from local market @ 5 Rs. each can. 15 Nos. IV bottle pipes purchased from private clinic @ Rs. 2 each pipe. 15 Nos. Wooden planks of bamboo having height approximately 5 feet purchased from bamboo local seller @ Rs. 5 each. 15 Nos. 5” flat head hardware nails purchase d from local market @ Rs. 5 each. (approximately 65 Rs. /Kg). 1 kg of jute rope purchased from local seller @ Rs 70/Kg. During the installation of the individual portable drip irrigation system as like in the figure 2. Water outlet pipes must be placed at the root zone of the each plant. Root zone of the each plant covered with sufficient mulching material to avoid evaporation losses. There are many factors which governed water requirement of mango as well as dripping rate of water. After considering all these factors, the young mango plants required 10 liters of water per day per plant for this field for first 2 to 3 years and dripping rate maintained at 1 Lit/ Hr.for individual plants. After first 5 hours of dripping water cans were again filled up with water for next 5 hours of ...

... India's irrigation potential increased from 22.6 mha. to 90 mha., but water usage efficiency is to too little i.e. only 30% (Patil Ashish et al.,2013). The monsoon instability adds to the variability in crop yields, prices etc. and thus cause high degree of variability in the net farm returns. ...
