Adoption of drip irrigation and fertigation system in corn
yisainuo December 11, 2017
Proved to be technically feasible and economically viable and beneficial in many ways in several countries of the world. Drip irrigation in many diverse agro-ecological situations registered higher yield (12 – 14 tons/ ha) besides saving in water (less water by as much as 35 to 55% when compared to furrow and sprinkler irrigation), better grain quality, low labor costs (in comparison to conventional furrow irrigation), precise application of fertilizer, low operating pressures (in comparison to centre pivot sprinkler irrigation method). No water is wasted to evaporation, runoff, wind drift.
Under drip irrigation and fertigation a good commercial grain corn yield is 10 – 15 tons/ ha depending on length of growing season and variety (10 to 13 percent moisture).
Water utilization efficiency: Varying between 1.6 and 2.0 kg/m3
