The document discusses agricultural production and challenges in India. It notes that while India produces large amounts of food grains, milk, fish and vegetables, the agricultural sector faces issues like limited irrigation, a large population dependent on agriculture, low income growth for farmers, and increasing farmer indebtedness and suicide rates. It then discusses how agro-dairy farms could help address these issues by providing employment, reducing rural migration, ensuring quality standards and processing to increase farmer incomes. Drip irrigation is presented as an effective way to use water and fertilizers efficiently in farming through a localized irrigation system.

-In the field of Agriculture most important things
are fertility of soil, nutrition’s available in soil, water availability
in that area, atmospheric conditions .All these parameters are
playing the measure roll regarding the productivity of crop .In
this paper we are trying to go through the techniques which will
show us how to improve productivity with the minimum use of
natural resources like water, and avoid leaching of soil by using
fertilizers through drip. This can be used in greenhouse or open
environments to efficiently monitor soil moisture and
temperature, ambient temperature, and humidity. Wired
communications, sensor networks, and other complementary
technologies provide the necessary tools to compile and processes
physical variables, including temperature, humidity, and soil
moisture, pH of soil, fertilizer concentrations. Greenhouse and
precision agricultural, in general, demand real-time precise
measurement of these parameters in order to avoid unnecessary
exposure to unhealthy ambient conditions, assure maximum
productivity and provide value-added quality. This paper aims to
implement the basic application of automizing the irrigation field
by programming the components and building the necessary
hardware with ARM7 Processor. This is used to find the exact
field condition and maintaining their levels in the soil
Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system transforming the lives of millions of farmers across the world, enabling higher yields to be produced from any land, while saving water, fertilizer and energy.

The patent pending Airy Gator Treatment System was developed to circulate millions of gallons of water per day in directed flows.
The treatment platform provides a method to introduce additives or media to remediate and improve water quality.
Drip irrigation for agriculture is gaining in popularity because of its many benefits. This presentation is a look at how growers are increasing income, reducing costs, improving flexibility and achieving sustainability by using drip irrigation technology on row, field and permanent crops.

Presented by IWMI's Winston Yu at the WASAG Working Group on Agricultural Water Use Workshop, led by IWMI, held in CIHEAM-Bari, Valenzano, Italy, on February 25, 2020.
Huge gains in water productivity are possible across the globe, but without better measuring and monitoring the effects of new interventions will remain unclear.

2. Agricultural scenario of India
Food grains production:- 241 million tones (MT) in 2010-11 crop
year
Milk production in 2011:- 121.7 million tones
Fish Production :-7.8 million tones
Vegetable Production :-- 141.3 million tones
Fruit production :- 75.7 million tones

3. Facts about agriculture sector in India
Limited supply of water for irrigation
Large size of population dependents on agriculture
Lower growth in farmers’ income(1.5%) and higher growth in
expenditure (4-5%)
Increasing indebtedness of farmers & suicidal rates.
Only 2.2% of the horticulture products are processed.
Only few secondary agriculture industries exist and most of
the agro-industries are unorganized.

4. Scope of agro-dairy farm?
Employment opportunities can be enhanced.
Migration from rural areas can be minimized .
High quality standards and low processing cost is ensured.
Ensure that a fair share of added value goes to the producer
thereby income level of farmers can be improved

7. Drip irrigation system (DIS).
• Drip irrigation, also known as ‘Trickle irrigation’ or
‘Micro irrigation’.
• It is an irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer
by allowing the mixture to drip slowly to the roots of
plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the
root zone.
• It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly
to the base of the plant.

10. Comparison
• Output 100 units
• More manual labor
Flood irrigation • Less profit
• Increased output to 160
units
Drip irrigation • Reduced manual labor
• More profit

11. TARGET SECTORS
• Small and medium scale farmers
• Rural and economically backward areas.
• Areas facing scarcity of rainfall.
• Soils which lacks nutrients and minerals.

12. STRENGTH WEAKNESS
Low initial investment
Limited life period & delicate
Risk spread over number of years High labor requirement
Skill requirement is less High replacement cost
Shifting to micro tube and drip is Cannot withstand high pressure of flow of
technically feasible water
Less transportation and storage problem Unequal distribution of water
SWOT
OPPORTUNITY THREAT
Scope for improvement
Non standardization in product
Latent demand for water saving
Non performance of early adopters
Involvement of agencies for replication /
Decreasing price of micro tube and drip
spreading
Environmental problems with polythene
Manufacturing process is available everywhere
Easy and soft availability of finance
Changes in system of electricity billing

• Taking all the general factors into account Drip
Irrigation system has met all expectations in
terms of economy, scalability, effectiveness and
