Abstract:

Water is a natural resource, continues to be the scarce commodity for agriculture. The monsoonal characteristics like onset, withdrawn, quantities are highly undefined over a location. Of late, it is further dictated by climate change scenario. Every year crop suffers in rainfed belts by unknown degrees. The scenario of irrigated agriculture though is set to be safe, yet the threat of untimely filling, insufficient storage etc leads to in-convince. As a result, rice a default choice crop of irrigated belt, always suffers in expressing its full potentiality. The success of rice as a rainfed crop set aside many unruly situations like methane emission, more water usage and soil destruction of traditional cultivation. In almost all command areas, as a crop alternatives, arable crops are recommended for second season and rice is discouraged for many known reasons such as soil health status, decreasing productivity, insufficient water supply etc., yet farmers still grow to a larger extent. In many locations, rice succeeded as an aerobic crop and regarded as future key in meeting the demand of hungry mouth. It is worth trying by adopting aerobic rice in these deltas of command area for second season as all farmers are well-worse with its cultivation. In the light of water saving and efficient fertilizer usage, evolving suitable packagefor these light soils especially for summer season is the need of the hour so that crop can be explored better for its yield potential. On these lines of thinking, the present study is an effort to exacting the cultural practise through drip irrigation system with a possibility of evolving suitable fertigation schedule for ensuring better utilization of resources.
