The company’s success comes from finding a better way to irrigate almost any crop on varied terrain and soils to increase yields and better utilize natural resources.


About Pivots Irrigation system• Fully automated continuous move irrigation.• Water evenly distributed in the soil

oPrecise water placement within the root zoneoFertilizers/chemicals applied with same precision as irrigation water – prevents

percolation or runoff.oVersatility in sprinkler packages and options to match soil and crop type.

• Day or night irrigation.• Chemigation and fertigation is efficient.

⁻ “Spoon-feeding” of fertilizer provides timely application and better plant utilization of nutrients

⁻ Reduces loss of fertilizers/chemicals to leaching or runoff• Low operating cost per acre, low labor requirements• Life span of 20 years or more

Land Holding by farmers in anantapur


Objectives

• Need to understand the project site-soil, resource availability, topography,

water sources, irrigation method and fixing dimensional coordinates.

• Mapping out the land size by the help of GPS machine for Pivots installation.

• Catch-can experiment –for yield measurement for Hose reel.

• Understanding Farmers’ perception and mind-set.

• Presenting a potential plan to Govt. officials for implementation of proposed

Irrigation Project with potential subsidy.


Scope of Project

• Hose Reel Irrigation System”- small and marginal farmers will be benefitted.

• “Pivots irrigation method”- Large farmers will get benefitted.• Using “Hose reel and Pivots” in the farm will help to enhance the

productivity.• Utilisation of less man-power therefore saving labour cost and using

that labour for other critical operations like weeding etc.• Minimization of water wastage & increasing irrigation efficiency.


Analytical Framework

Research Design Empirical research

Sampling Plan Anantapur district -size of population

Sampling Technique Judgemental sampling and Stratified sampling

Sampling Tools Questionnaire and Personal meeting with Agricultural dept.

Sampling design 8 to 10 potential farmers (marginal farmers, large farmers, small and medium farmers).

Data Source Primary and secondary sources.

Area of Study Anantapur district (Andhra Pradesh)


Result and interpretation

• Finding out the coordinates of allotted land in various region of Anantapur district

Findings

• The soil fertility data collected from agriculture department Tadipatri, Anantapur.

Particulates Description

pH 7.4 to 7.8 pH range and this much pH content is good for the crop

Phosphorus Status high in major region -productivity value

organic carbon low in that region

electrical conductivity (EC) good for plant growth

potassium content high in that region-shape, size, colure, taste and healthy produce plant.


Cont..

Particulates Description

Water resources 65% tube wells are not working due to decrease in water level

Irrigation methodology Depends on rain fall and Drip irrigation as a major irrigation

Electricity Good electricity facility by windmill

Farmers' mindset Subsidy need for irrigation method and happy with Drip


Suggestion

• Introduction “Pivots and Hose reel irrigation system”-company should focus on large farmers.

• Pivots system -company need to find out bigger land parcel.• Need to install a demo setup of pivots and hose reel.• The company should try to get subsidy for irrigation method to get

accepted by the farmers.• The company should focus on small/ marginal farmers for Hose reel

irrigation system.• Both irrigation system need to get approval from GOVT. of AP.


Conclusion

• As per agro climatic conditions and sources availability at Anantapur district ,the farmers must get a productivity value by the help of the innovative and effective irrigation technology (Pivots and Hose reel irrigation).
