Abstract:

On farm demonstrations taken up on the precise management of nutrients and water in the Cauvery Command area (CCA) in Karnataka state over an area of 300 acres has revealed that with drip fertigation and grid based nutrient application sugarcane productivity was recorded to be higher (179.8 t/ha) compared to surface irrigated crop (123.6 t/ha) with an increase of 45.5 per cent and saving of irrigation water to the tune of 39.7 per cent. The demonstrations have amply suggested that higher B: C ratio can be obtained with drip fertigation (3.7) over conventional surface irrigation.
