This method is suited to all crops especially for close-spaced crops like groundnuts, cotton, millet, pulses, potato and wheat, and is being adopted all over the world. This method has been widely practiced in advanced countries in the past 50 years and adopted only for plantation crops (such as coffee and tea) in India. Due, however, to scarcity of water and the related soil conditions, it is being taken up in a big way in Haryana and Karnataka in the plains, for crops such as cotton and millets. Series of experiments conducted in many parts of the country have indicated the need for popularising this method of irrigation.
There is no book on sprinkler irrigation written by Indian research or extension staff. This book comprehensively deals with the development of sprinkler irrigation, place of sprinkler irrigation, design and layout, special equipment, need for a pumping plant to operate the system, when and how much to irrigate, economic feasibility, and research and development needs.
This book will be useful for the staff and students of the faculty of agriculture, agricultural engineering and civil engineering, research scientists, extension workers, and field officers of all banks and rural development agencies. It will be a guide book to farmers and sprinkler irrigation dealers.
