Abstract
Abstract: There is global consensus on food security challenge and increasing crop production to meet the demand across globe. Population growth, increasing water stress and climate variability, stresses on finding ways of getting more crop to meet our food needs, approach. One solution to this problem is the use of drip irrigation system which improves profitably by increasing crop yield and quality while reducing costs from water, energy, labour, chemical inputs and water runoff. The experiment was conducted in the Gangapada farm, Khordha, Odisha. The actual discharge of the dripper having theoretical capacity 8lph was measured and the result varied in the range of 6.8 - 8.15lph. The wetting pattern also measured by constructing three Bed having size 2.6 × 2 × 1 ft. The average wetting pattern was found of are 43.5, 36.3, 26, 12.0 cm at the depth of 0,10,20,30,40 cm respectively. The moisture content was also measured at different depth to study the variation at different depth using 8lph dripper
