LITTLE `DRIPS' OF WATER MAKE FOR INVALUABLE IRRIGATION
Article Abstract:
The area under drip irrigation in Karnataka is expected to reach 55,000 hectares by the end of 1998-99. The state's success in drip irrigation is mainly due to implementation of Centrally- sponsored schemes for the use of plastics in agriculture and awareness creation among farmers about its benefits. The state plans to cover at least 10,000-15,000 hectares each year under drip irrigation. Coconut plantations account for half the total area covered under drip irrigation, followed by arecanut and mango. An area of 23,100 hectares of coconut plantation, 9,519 hectares of arecanut plantation and 3,319 hectares of mango orchards are covered under drip irrigation in Karnataka. (khr)
