Overview

On-farm evaluation demonstrates cropwat irrigation improves onion yield by 28.53% over traditional methods, suggesting better water use.

Key Points

  • Cropwat irrigation saved 103 kg/ha/mm of water, enhancing efficiency significantly compared to traditional methods.
  • Onion yield increased by 28.53% with cropwat irrigation, indicating its benefits for farmers in the region.
  • The study included 40 farmers in training and demonstrations of improved irrigation practices for better water management.
  • Agronomic data collected supported the potential of cropwat in addressing water utilization challenges for onion production.
