जल संरक्षण के लिए प्रौद्योगिकी को अपनाना - ड्रिप सिंचाई प्रणाली पर एक केस स्टडी Irrigation plays an important role in harvesting the desirable level of yield and supplementing the use efficiency of other inputs. Globally, irrigation water is becoming highly scarce due to over exploitation of water bodies for meeting the demand of increasing population. India, despite having the largest area under irrigation in the world, it suffers from severe shortage of water. The coverage of irrigation is about 47 percent of the gross cropped area.  The main reason for low coverage under irrigation is the low water use efficiency of existing conventional method of irrigations like flooding, which is widely practiced in India. Considering the limited water availability in future for irrigation and other uses, different management strategies have to be evaluated for efficient use of available water. In Indian agriculture, drip irrigation system is considered as one of the efficient management strategies for water conservation. Drip irrigation system saves water and fertilizer by supplying water and nutrients near the roots of plants, either at the soil surface (by surface drip irrigation system) or directly in the root zone (by sub-surface drip irrigation system) through a network of pipes, valves, laterals and drippers. An attempt was made to study the adoption level of drip...

इंटरनेट ऑफ थिंग्स आधारित स्मार्ट सिंचाई शेड्यूलिंग प्रणाली The scarcity of clean water resources around the globe has generated a need for their optimum utilization.Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, based on the application specific sensors’ data acquisition and intelligentprocessing, are bridging the gaps between the cyber and physical worlds. IoT based smart irrigation managementsystems can help in achieving optimum water-resource utilization in the precision farming. Why should we go for irrigation scheduling smartly? Water scarcity is already affecting a part of the world and the situation is getting worse over time due to the increasing world population and fresh water demands. The current world population is around 7.2 billion and it is expected to be more than 9 billion by 2050. The agriculture sector, particularly irrigation, consumes a major portion of the freshwater. Due to lack of cost-effective intelligent irrigation systems, developing countries are consuming more water in contrast to the developed countries for achieving the same yield. For example, India has approximately 4% of world’s freshwater resources to serve 17% of the world population; however, it takes 2–4 times more water for some of its major agri-produce in comparison to the other countries like China, USA. Therefore, there is a dire need to come up with advanced technologies based on smart strategies and systems...

Water conservation and management techniques in fruits cultivation  खेती में सिंचाई के लिए पानी की उपलब्धता धीरे - धीरे कम होती जा रही है, इसलिए यह अत्यावश्यक हो गया है की सिंचाई के लिए जल का उपयोग बहुत ही सोच समझकर एवं बुधिमतापुर्वक किया जाए । अभी भी किसान सिंचाई की पुरानी विधियां ही उपयोग में ला रहे है जिनकी सिंचाई जल प्रयोग की दक्षता बहुत कम होती है । इसलिए हमें सिंचाई की नयी तकनीको को अपनाना चाहिए जिसमें जल प्रयोग की दक्षता ज्यादा हो तथा हम जल संरक्षण की तारफ कदम बढा  सकें। जल संरक्षण के साथ साथ हमें उसके प्रबंधन पर भी ध्यान देना चाहिए क्योंकि जल प्रकाश- संश्लेशन एवं पौधों के विकास के लिए बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण है । इसकी कमी फलों के उत्पादन  और हमारे मुनाफे को भी कम कर देगी  फल फसल में सिचाई का उचित समय सिंचाई की आवश्यकता फलों के रोपण विधि पर निर्भर करती है I खेतो में सीधे बीज को डालकर अथवा नर्सरी में तैयार  पौधों को पुन: खेतो में रोपाई की जाती है Iबीजो के प्रस्फुटन के समय खेतो की मिट्टी में उचित नमी होनी चाहिए अन्यथा बीजों के विकास बाधित हो जाएगा I जब हम पौधों को नर्सरी से लाकर खेतो में लगाते है उससमय खेतों में पानी का जमाव होना चाहिए जिससे...
