Study On Maize Cultivation Under Drip and Conventional Fertigation Methods
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Study has been made, to compare the economics of cost of production in maize, for drip fertigation and conventional fertigation was carried out at field irrigation laboratory, of department of Soil and Water Engineering, College of Agricultural Engineering, Bapatla during rabi 2015-16. Though, the initial capital investment was high in drip irrigation system, the cumulative benefit would be greater and considering the longer life of the system. The benefit cost ratio of maize was analyzed, by calculating the annual cost, cost of cultivation, seasonal total cost, yield produced, selling price, income from produce. Highest income from produce was recorded, for the treatment T1 (Rs.109800.00), followed by the treatment T2 (Rs.100440.00), whereas T3 recorded (Rs.85320.00). The lowest net seasonal income was recorded, for the treatment T4 (Rs.57960.00) was estimated by multiplying the total production of maize value, with prevailing market rate
