Contingent Irrigation Management in Rainfed Areas

N D Korpe, Former Technician Member
There are different kinds of horticultural species, such as, Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana), Custard Apple (Annona squomasa), Bel (Agele marmelos) and Wood apple (Feronia limonia) grown in Maharashtra entirely in rainfed conditions. Some other varieties like Aonala (Emblica officinalis), Acid Lime (Citrus aurotifolia), Mango (Mangifera indica) and Jack Fruit (Artocarpous hetrophyllous), however, require minimal amount of water. In order to develop a good and sturdy plantation, timely irrigation at initial stages during infancy and later on at the flowering or fruiting stage is beneficial. This core irrigation at initial stages lead to good setting of plantation as it provides the much needed care and protection for crops when needed most. Ultimately this well developed plantation provides good remuneration to farmers. The improved methodology suggested in this article helps growers as contingent irrigation scheduling for survival of the orchard as well as for timely fruiting and development of quality fruits during stress period, if the rainfall received in the area is deficient and its distribution is improper. Thus, sustainable horticulture can be developed in rainfed conditions in Maharashtra and various other parts of India, where the similar conditions prevail. INTRODUCTION It is a well recognized fact that irrigation water is an important input to agricultural productivity and its adequate and timely supply at users end plays a crucial role in enhancing the productivity. Due to scarcity of water in the State of Maharashtra, there is a need for an irrigation system which allows the judicious use of irrigation water for bringing more area under irrigation1. Need for Management of Rainfed Horticulture Water is becoming one of the most critical resources in the country due to growing population and increasing demand of this precious resource. Development of newer water resources is difficult and costly. Hence, judicious use of generated water resources through localized irrigation2 is becoming important. There are various kinds of horticultural species, such as, Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana), Custard Apple (Annona squomasa), Bel ( Agele marmelos) and Wood Apple (Feronia limonie) grown in Maharashtra entirely in rainfed conditions. Besides this, some other varieties like Aonala (Emblica officinalis), Acid Lime (Citrus aurotifolia), Mango (Mangifera indica) and Jack Fruit (Artocarpous hetrophyllous) require minimal amount of water. However, in order to develop a good and sturdy plantation timely irrigation at initial stages during infancy and later on at the flowering or fruiting stage is beneficial. This core irrigation at initial stages lead to good setting of plantation as it provides the much needed care and protection for crops when needed most. Ultimately this well developed plantation provides good dividends to farmers. Due to constantly decreasing amount of precipitation / rainfall
N D Korpe, a former Technician Member of IEI is currently working as a Technical Secretary to Dean (Instruction) of Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (PIN 444104), Maharashtra.

and its untimely distribution, which results in the rapid depletion of water-table of the area, the people of India are facing an unprecedented water crisis. With a view to save the standing orchards and gardens, following areas ought to be implemented: Removal of Cracks from Soil Surface: The residual moisture from the soil escapes from cracks in the soil to the environment. To retain the moisture in the soil, it is necessary to cover up the cracks formed in the soil during cultivation and tillage practices. Protection from Hot Winds: Wind brakes are to be erected from available material to stop the flow of hot winds from southern and western sides of the fields. As such the plants are protected from ill-effects of hot winds and water requirement of the crop is lowered down. Constant Mulching: If some amount of agro-based residues, such as, straws, leaves and harvest residue are spread over the area to be watered/irrigated permanently, then the evaporation of water as well as that of soil moisture is directly controlled. Training and Pruning of Trees: On pruning of trees, there is reduction in the number of leaves as also of the surface area exposed and this situation leads automatically to reduction in the amount of water vapour lost to the environment. As the rate of evaporation is controlled, the water requirement is also consequently reduced. Scheduling Irrigation at Evening Time: There is reduction in evapo-transpiration when plants are irrigated at evening time. The water so given is easily assimilated, absorbed and collected by the sub-soil during night time. Irrigation during night time provides a conducive atmosphere for growth of plants. Moisture Level at Soil Field Capacity: The roots of plants along with micro-organisms need constant aeration. Thus, saturation of water near the trees should not occur under

Volume 93, December 2012

any circumstances. If the moisture in the soil is maintained at field capacity level, there is good growth of plants which are pest and disease-resistant and these results in high quality yields. Irrigation not too Close to the Trunk of Trees: The roots of trees absorb water around the circumference of the roots and this extends generally up to the shadow which falls when the sun is directly overhead the tree, ie, at noon. The range of circumference is around two metre. Over and above this range, the water is sucked up even more efficiently. As far as possible, watering should be done in between two rows by means of a single channel. The absorbed water can be attracted by the roots of plants from a distance of up to two metre. Irrigation at Half Furrow Level: Instead of irrigation through big basins either a small basin or half filled alternate furrow save the plants in chronic situation. Also, this minimum exposure of water to the environment will automatically reduce evaporation and will serve to increase utility of resources available. Irrigation through Alternate Furrows: Keeping in view the storage of water and to provide the essential amount of water required to keep the plants alive, water should be applied through alternate furrows. This will serve to maximize the area under irrigation. Conveyance through Pipes: When water is conveyed through open channels, there is loss of water through evaporation and deep percolation. Therefore, wherever possible, water should be conveyed through closed conduits. Gated Pipe and Valve Arrangement: The flow of water in pipes should be regulated through means of valves or gates so as to ensure optimum supply of water at appropriate place and avoid wastage. Micro or Drip Irrigation: Keeping in mind the shortage of water, the irrigation should be scheduled at an interval of 2-3 days through drip irrigation. The irrigation is to be done

at the evening time to maximize water application efficiency. Semi-portable Drip Irrigation: If the area to be irrigated is big and the irrigation sets are limited in number, then the main high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe is to be used as sub-mains along with the laterals and is to be shifted as a whole from place to place as per convenience so as to irrigate the whole of the area3. Sprinkler Irrigation: The sprinkler is ideal for irrigation for nurseries and orchards where the distance between plants as well as rows is less. The irrigation is to be done when there is no winds and after sunset4. CONCLUSION The improved methodology suggested helps the grower as contingent irrigation scheduling for survival of the orchard as well as for timely fruiting and development of quality fruits during stress period if the rainfall received in the area is deficient and its distribution is improper. Thus, sustainable horticulture can be suitably developed in rainfed conditions in the Vidarbha region of the state of Maharashtra. REFERENCES 1. A M Bathikhi and A H Abu Hammad.

Report on Twentieth IEI Convocation and Technicians'/Students' Convention

Organized by the Karnataka State Centre of IEI, the Twentieth IEI Convocation and Technicians'/Students' Convention was held at Bengaluru during November 02-04, 2012. The central theme of the seminar, which was held concurrently with the apex function of Technicians'/Students' Convention was Technological Innovations for Societal Applications. The theme was contemporary and apt too. Altogether 1967 candidates, who passed Sections A and B Examinations in ten different engineering disciplines during the year 2011, were given the combined certificates of passing Sections A & B examinations in person as well as in absentia. A large number of Technician/Senior Technician members, students of engineering college/polytechnic students' chapters attended this mega event. The apex function was presided over by Mr S S Rathore, President (Elect) of the Institution. Mr Vijayamohanakumar S R, VicePresident of IEI; Mr D V Nagabhusan, Chairman of All India Students' Committee and Dr S Nagabhushana Rao, Chairman of All India Technicians' Committee graced the occasion besides council members and a large number of corporate members representing various parts of the country. engineers clubbed with utmost skills by a large pool of skilled engineers working in various parts of the country, the foundation of engineering excellence would be strengthened, thereby India would be in the front runner of engineering development in the world. The Governor finally appealed to all engineers engaged in the profession to uphold the ethical values while discharging their duties to the profession and also to the organisations where they have been serving.

The Convocation was held at Jnana Jyoti Auditorium in Bangalore University, Bengaluru, where Mr Hans Raj Bhardwaj, Governor of Karnataka, was the Chief Guest. Addressing the gathering, Mr Bhardwaj said Engineers have to strive for achieving high quality in their chosen fields of engineering. Calling upon young engineers to dedicate themselves in the progress of the country, the Governor quoted the example of various works undertaken by the National Highway Authority of India and the State Government in upgrading motorable roads. He paid rich tributes to the brilliance of renowned engineer, Sir M Visvesvaraya, and his great achievements. Referring to bridges that collapsed recently in Mumbai, Goa and Punjab, the Governor said, "It is not ethical on the part of engineers to compromise on quality. In an age when the service industry is prominent, Indian products have to be equal or better than the best". He made a fervent appeal to all pass-out students and also to other engineering professionals, who attended the Convocation, to put their best technical inputs selflessly for the growth of engineering skills in the country. He opined that, with the addition of such technical inputs by the young

Dr H Maheshappa, Vice-chancellor of Visvesvaraya Technological University was the Guest-of-Honour on the occasion. While delivering his thought-provoking Convocation Address, Dr H Maheshappa congratulated the Institution for providing an alternative and cheaper mode of technical education to weaker sections of the society, who was otherwise not getting the opportunity to the formal education system. He felt that the active support of academicians, researchers and education planners of this country could

Dr H Maheshappa delivering his Convocation address

provide a sustainable road map of Indian education in the long-run.Dr Maheshappa made a fervent plea to students to be innovative in their own fields of education and put their best in the form of knowledge-sharing in their professional arena so that a sense of technical belongingness prevail in the homogeneous society, which would ultimately unfold a greater horizon of technological superiority over other developing countries, thereby India could progress much faster in the frontier areas of energy, education, manufacturing and social empowerment. Dr H Maheshappa also emphasized the need to inculcate professional ethics among engineering students. He also spoke about the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the engineering syllabi so as to render students 'industry-ready'. He called upon the engineering Institutions to ensure engineering education that translates into the betterment of human lives. Mr S S Rathore, President-elect of IEI, pronounced the exhortation to newly-admitted graduates. In his lucid presentation, Mr Rahtore appealed to all pass-out students to dedicate themselves for the development of engineering profession selflessly and also with ethical standards. Mentioning the need of introducing Sections A&B examinations for practicing engineers in way back 1928, Mr Rathore observed that the Institution has been keeping the standard of its examinations comparable with the requirements of the profession on the changing global

scenario for the last eight decades. The syllabi introduced in 1928 was revised several times to embrace technological changes and to meet modern societal needs with the pace at which Indian engineering profession marching toward self-reliance. The examinations of The Institution of Engineers Mr S S Rathore presenting (India) are recognized in the his address professional circles as high achievement for future career prospects and have become popular. While dwelling on the central theme for the Seminar 'Technological Innovations for Societal Applications', Mr Rathore mentioned that the topic was apt in today's context. It is a subject of worldwide interest now. "Science, technology and innovation can drive the economic growth, help solve social and environmental problems, and reduce poverty. All countries need to develop capacity to produce and use the fruit of scientific developments clubbed with technological breakthroughs, and thus adopt knowledge to their needs and contexts. Societies also need to understand both the benefits and risks of emerging technologies, such as digital ones, in order to maximize their benefits. Technological expertise plays a significant role in the global economy. Combination of technology and innovation could lead to inclusive growth. Though several technological inventions are made, the intention of inclusive growth across the globe probably remains unachieved. Unless existing social settings that restrict the participation of some social groups in societal life are not transformed, achieving social well-being is going to remain a difficult task", opined Mr Rathore. He also felt that service delivery has to be innovative. It needs to focus on three major areas, namely, (a) new technologies capable of producing new products in a cost-effective manner; (b) social innovation that ensures distribution of goods and services; and (c) adoption of change in order to integrate the goods and services to the local settings. Hence, technology and innovation should, therefore, play complimentary roles in the process of social change. Given the significance of this domain, there is an inherent need for effective discussion and debate on aspects related to the discourse of social
