Abstract

The adoption of the drip irrigation method among the farmers of south Gujarat in water-intensive crops like banana serves as a tool for judicious use of resources. However, this method has its limitations. The study found that the top three constraints in the case of drip irrigation method were a high initial investment, clogging of emitters due to water salinity and frequent damage of the system due to rodents and other animals. Similarly, in the case of conventional irrigation methods wastage of water, followed by high electricity usage and waterlogging were the major constraints identified.
