Relationship between personal characteristics and adoption of drip system of irrigation of vegetable growers in the adopted villages of SKNAU, Jobner

Drip irrigation is a technique in which water flows through a filter into special drip pipes, with emitters located at different spacing. Water is distributed through the emitters directly into the soil near the roots through a special slow-release device. Drip irrigation can be a very technical irrigation system for food or plant production fields. But compared to other technical systems. it is a low-technique solution. Furthermore it is possible to combine this system with a water treatment plant (e.g. non-planted filter or constructed wetlands (horizontal flow or vertical flow) and use the treated water as irrigation water. The present study was conducted in the year 2020 with an objective to determine the relationship between adoption of drip system of irrigation of vegetable growers and their personal characteristics. The total sample size of the study was 120. The age was found negatively and size of land holding’ was positively non-significant, furthermore, the independent variable like, Education, Occupation, Annual Income and Social participation were found to be positive and significantly relationship with adoption of drip system of irrigation of vegetable growers.
