ABSTRACT

We must increase production and productivity of fruit crop per unit use of inputs. Water is a valuable resource that must be used wisely. Popularity of micro irrigation systems is popular among citrus growing farmers. The farmers have to decide the best system among various micro irrigation systems to suit the requirement and to increase productivity. The major constraints in fruit production system include inadequate rainfall and its distribution, depleting ground water table, adaption of surface irrigation methods and excess use of available water resources.
