Water Management for Crop Production (352)

1. INTRODUCTION
In India irrigation potential is created so that in future more land can be irrigated. In the present system hardly 50 percent of the cultivated land is inigated and the irrigation water is not being utilized properly leading to more wastage than its use by crop.

Efficient management of limited irrigation water is of utmost importance for sustaining and increasing agricultural production.
2. Objectives
By undergoing this course the learners shall be able to
understand the soil-water-plant relationship in increasing the yield of crops;
know the time for scheduling irrigation to crops to reduce wastage of irrigation water;
estimate the quantity of irrigation water required in each irrigation and
