DRIP IRRIGATION INNOVATOR- RAKESH GANDHI

DATE:2/11/12

• DRIP IRRIGATION, ALSO KNOWN AS TRICKLE IRRIGATION OR MICRO IRRIGATION OR LOCALIZED IRRIGATION

• AN IRRIGATION METHOD THAT SAVES WATER AND FERTILIZER BY ALLOWING WATER  TO DRIP SLOWLY TO THE ROOTS OF PLANTS, EITHER ONTO THE SOIL  SURFACE OR DIRECTLY ONTO THE ROOT ZONE , THROUGH A NETWORK OF VALVES, PIPES, TUBING , AND EMITTERS .

• IT IS DONE THROUGH NARROW TUBES THAT DELIVER WATER DIRECTLY TO THE BASE OF THE PLANT

• THE INNOVATION IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR OF INDIA WHICH HAS 18,97,282 HA AREA WHICH IS ADEQUATE FOR DRIP IRRIGATION.

DRIP IRRIGATION

COMPONENTS OF DRIP IRRIGATION

• PUMP OR PRESSURIZED WATER SOURCE• WATER FILTER(S) OR FILTRATION SYSTEMS: SAND

SEPARATOR SUCH AS HYDRO-CYCLONE, SCREEN FILTERS, MEDIA FILTERS, DISC FILTERS

• FERTIGATION SYSTEMS (VENTURI INJECTOR) AND CHEMIGATION EQUIPMENT (OPTIONAL)

• BACKWASH CONTROLLER (BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE)

• PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE (PRESSURE REGULATOR)• MAIN LINE (LARGER DIAMETER PIPE AND PIPE

FITTINGS)

CONTINUED..

• HAND-OPERATED, ELECTRONIC, OR HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVES AND SAFETY VALVES

• SMALLER DIAMETER POLYTUBE (OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "LATERALS")

• POLY FITTINGS AND ACCESSORIES (TO MAKE CONNECTIONS)

• EMITTING DEVICES AT PLANTS (EMITTER OR DRIPPER, MICRO SPRAY HEAD, INLINE DRIPPER OR INLINE DRIP TUBE

CULTIVATION OF CROPS BY ARIES AGRO

• POTATO AND BANANA ARE RAISED THROUGH THIS TECHNIQUE

• POTATO TAKES 100 DAYS AND BANANA 305 DAYS

• QUANTITY OF PRODUCT IMPROVED AND QUALITY TOO INCREASED.

• ARIES AGRO WAS THE FIRST TO INTRODUCE THIS IN INDIA

• SAVES TIME, LABOR, ELECTRICITY AND WATER.

• THE DRIPPING MAY DEPEND ON THE TYPE OF SOIL.

• THE COST OF THIS CULTIVATION USING DRIP IRRIGATION IS 30000/ 1 HECTARE.

• REGISTRATION WITH GGRC(GUJARAT GREEN REVOLUTION CORPORATION)

• SWITCHING TO GREEN HOUSE CONCEPT,WHEREBY IMPROVING QUALITY OF PRODUCTS)

WHY DRIP IRRIGATION INDIA??• INDIA ‘S HUGE POPULATION ,

PROJECTED TO BE THE MOST POPULUS COUNTRY BY 2025.

• HAVING MOST FERTILE RIVER BELTS

• MAJOR PRODUCER & EXPORTER OF AGRI PRODUCTS

• MORE THAN 68% OF INDIA’S POPULATION LIVES IN RURAL AREAS, DEPENDENT ON AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED ACTIVITIES.

• ALL THESE FACTORS DRIVE TO THE HUGE POTENTIAL THAT DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM HAS IN INDIA

• DRIP IRRIGATION PROCESS TAKES LESS TIME AND QUALITY IS ALSO HIGH THAN OTHER WAYS.

ADVANTAGES WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER IRRIGATION METHODS

• Increased Revenue from Increased Yields• •Increased Revenue from Increased Quality• •Decreased Water Costs• •Decreased Labour Costs• •Decreased Energy Costs• •Decreased Fertilizer Costs• •Decreased Pesticide Costs• •Improved Environmental Quality

ADVANTAGE OVER FLOOD IRRIGATION SYSTEM

DRIP VS FLOOD IRRIGATION

STAKE HOLDERS

• AGRO FARMS• FARMERS• GOVERNMENT• SUPPLIERS• EMPLOYEES OF THE FIRMS• CUSTOMERS

VALUES CREATED FOR STAKEHOLDERS

• AGRO FARMS - ABLE TO PRODUCE QUALITY PRODUCTS WITH LESS INVESTMENT AND OTHER WASTAGE AND GET GOOD RETURNS

• FARMERS- TRUE VALUE FOR INVESTMENT.UNAFFECTED BY POOR MONSOON.

• GOVERNMENT – MORE CROPS PRODUCED REDUCING CHANCES OF FOOD INFLATION.

• EMPLOYEES- MORE PRODUCTIVITY AND INCREASED LEVEL OF KNLOWLEDGE IN CULTIVATION.

• CUSTOMERS- AVAILABILTY OF QUALITY CROPS WITHOUT ANY FAILURE DUE TO LESS RAINFALL.

ENVIROMENTAL SUSTAINIBILITY

• REDUCES WASTAGE OF WATER VS SPRINKLER IRRIGATION

• LESS ELECTRICITY IS CONSUMED THAN OTHER IRRIGATIONAL TECHNIQUES.

• MORE QUALITY PRODUCTS PRODUCED THAN USING HARMFUL CHEMICALS.

NEXT GENERATION PRACTICE!!

• CAN CATER TO THE NEEDS OF HUGE POPULATION IN INDIA

• RAINFALL SCARCITY CANNOT AFFECT AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION.

• REDUCED COST OF PRODUCTION• HIGH QUALITY CROPS ,VALUE FOR MONEY.• SOCIAL EQUITY MAINTAINED THROUGH MAKING

GOOD QUALITY CROPS AVAILABLE FOR THE BOP CUSTOMERS.

• GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR FARMERS• MORE EMPLOYMENT OPPURTUNIES.

RECOMENDATIONS

• AREAS PRONE TO LESS RAINFALL SHOULD ADAPT TO DRIP IRRIGATION.

• GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONDUCT AWARENESS PROGRAMS.

• PRESENT SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH DRIP IRRIGATION.
