Abstract

An attempt has been made in the study to deal with comparative economics of sprinkler and surface irrigation in the Raipur district of Chhattisgarh. Primary data was collected from selected farmers through a personal interview method with the help of an interview schedule. The wheat crop was selected specifically for the study as it covered the maximum area under sprinkler irrigation. The cost of installation of the sprinkler system for 0.203–0.405 ha, 0.405–1 ha, 1.01– 2 ha and >2 ha worked out as Rs.15418, Rs. 25531, Rs 40722 and Rs. 48131 respectively. Whereas the cost of installation of tube well worked out to be Rs. 72,900. On sprinkler irrigated farms, the per hectare overall gross returns were higher Rs. 77,270.66 whereas on surface irrigated farms it was Rs.62781.66.
