dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted during 2003-04 among areca nut and banana growers of Shimoga and Davanagere districts of Karnataka. The results revealed that majority of drip irrigation farmers had expressed the advantages like saving of water (95.55%), saving in labour cost for irrigation (92.22%) and uniform application of water (91.11%). Improved quality of the produce was expressed by 70.00 per cent of farmers. Drip irrigation had shown increased yield in arecanut and banana to the extent of 5.94 and 3.54 per cent, respectively as compared to surface irrigation. Similarly the returns were increases to the extent of 5.92 and 3.54 per cent, respectively. Drip irrigation had resulted in higher B:C ratio (1:3.36) as compared to surface irrigation (1:2.81). The quality parameters of banana (Yelakki bale) crop grown under drip system had shown more number of hands per bunch (12), fingers per bunch (103), length of fruit (4.73 inches) and fruit thickness (2.53inches). The drip irrigation had minimized the days for harvesting (398 days) and also increased self-life (15 days) in banana.en_US
