             Method of irrigation
             Course:B.Sc. Agricultural
         Subject : Water management and micro irrigation
                 Unit: 3
        Effective Rainfall
  • Effective rainfall is the rainfall that is available 
   in the plant root zone, allowing the plant to 
   germinate or maintain its growth. This can be 
   related to rainfall versus evaporation. When 
   combined with temperature figures, effective 
   rainfall will indicate the main growing seasons 
   for plants. As a rule of thumb, the evaporation 
   from an exposed soil surface is about one-
   third that from the evaporimeter.
            Irrigation scheduling
   •    Irrigation scheduling is defined as frequency with which water is to 
     be applied based on needs of the crop and nature of the soil.
   •    Irrigation scheduling is nothing but number of irrigations and their 
     frequency required to meet the crop water requirement.
   •    Irrigation scheduling may be defined as scientific management 
     techniques of allocating irrigation water based on the individual crop 
     water requirement (ETc) under different soil and climatic condition, with 
     an aim to achieve maximum crop production per unit of water applied 
     over a unit area in unit time.
   •    Based on the above definition, the concept made is.
   •    “If we provide irrigation facility the agricultural production and 
     productivity will go up automatically”
   •    Irrigation scheduling is a decision making process repeated many 
     times in each year involving when to irrigate and how much of water to 
     apply? Both criteria influence the quantity and quality of the crop.  It 
     indicates how much of irrigation water to be used and how often it has to 
     be given.
       Practical considerations in irrigation scheduling
      •         Before scheduling irrigation in a farm or field or a command, 
          the following criteria should be taken care for efficient scheduling
      •   1. Crop factors
      •   Sensitiveness to water shortage
      •   Critical stages of the crop
      •   Rooting depth
      •   Economic value of the crop
      •   2. Water delivery system
      •   Canal irrigation or tank irrigation (It is a public distribution system 
          where scheduling is arranged based on the decision made by public 
          based on the resource availability).
      •   Well irrigation (individual decision is final)
