| Sr.No. | Recommendations |
|---|---|
| 1 | The farmers of Agro-climatic Zone-III (AES-II) of middle Gujarat growing mustard (GM-2) in Narmada command are advised to irrigate their crop at node elongation, flowering and pod development stages with 6 cm depth to get more net return (17031 Rs/ha). (I AGRESCO, AAU) |
| 2 | The farmers of Agro-climatic Zone-III (AES-II) of middle Gujarat growing gram in Narmada command are advised to give single irrigation to their crop at branching stage with 6 cm depth. When the soil is medium in available phosphorus, the crop may be fertilized with 37.5 kg of P2O5 and 25 kg N2 along with FYM @ 10 ton per hectare at the time of sowing to get more net return (32181 Rs/ha).

The farmers of Middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone-III (AES-II) in Narmada command growing castor (late kharif) are advised to give total 5 irrigations each of 50mm in all furrow at an interval of 25-30 days to get higher yield (17.4 %) and net profit (29.8 %) as compared to flat bed irrigation. Black plastic mulching could increase castor yield by 20 % but not found economical. (II AGRESCO, AAU) |

The maize growing farmers of Narmada command of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone-III (AES-II) are advised to give 7(1+6) irrigation through sprinkler to get more yield (27%) and net return (37 %). The first should be given at time of sowing and the remaining 6 irrigations at an interval of 17 days. However, to save 26 % water, 5(1+4) irrigation should be given through sprinkler to get 15% higher yield and net return (16 %). The first should be given at time of sowing and the remaining 4 irrigations at an interval of 25 days. The sprinkler system should be laid at 12m × 12m spacing and should be operated at 2.75 kg/cm2 Pressure to achieve 1.67cm/hr application rate. The system should be operated for a period of 3 hours.

The farmers of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone-III (AES-II) in Narmada command are advised to adopt drip system of irrigation in cabbage (rabi)- okra(summer) crop sequence. In cabbage irrigation should be applied at 0.8PEF (Drip) to get higher yield (29.5%), net returns (31.2 %) and water saving (14.5%). Okra should be irrigated at 0.6PEF (Drip) to get higher yield (28 %), net returns (29.7 %) and water saving (59 %). The drip system should be laid out at a lateral distance of 0.90 m (in alternate row) and dripper (4.0 lph) spacing at 0. 60 m. Cabbage: Cabbage (cv. Golden acre) should be planted across the lateral line and system should be operated at 1.2 kgf/cm2 pressure for 50 minutes on alternate day. Okra: Okra (cv. parbhanikranti) should be sown along the lateral line and system should be operated at 1.2 kgf/cm2 pressure for 75 minutes on alternate day. (II AGRESCO, AAU) |
