| Abstract | Farmer focused research has been
to identify differences in irrigation
constrains limiting wheat yield
watercourses.
conducted on wheat crop in order
practices, crop production and
at improved and unimproved
For this study, two improved and two unimproved watercourses were
selected. Irrigation farming was studied in farmers 1 field with respect
to stratification of the selected watercourses by middle and tail. Data
was collected through observations and farmers interviews on specific
wheat fields. A sample of three to five 1m x 1m plots located randomly
in the field were harvested and threshed to estimate the yields.
The results indicate that there is no differences in method of
irrigation and number of irrigations applied to wheat crop on improved
and unimproved watercourses. Quant analysis of farmers yield shows that
the main factors responsible for limiting the yields are - late sowing,
application of low dose of fertilizer and use of non recommended variety. Large size of culturable commanded area and unimproved status of
watercourse are also yield reducing factors in this area. |
