Government is giving 4 thousand crores rupees to farmers for promoting drip irrigation

Farmers are now using drip irrigation methods for irrigation. The Central Government is also promoting it and has allocated 4 thousand crores for various state farmers under the “Per Drop More Crop” scheme. The main objective behind this scheme is to increase yields by reducing water use in farming.

It is worth noting that the Central Government has launched the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana to use every drop of water in the irrigation process. Under this scheme, ‘Per Drop More Crop – Micro Irrigation’ program is being run.

Modern technology of irrigation has been emphasized under the ‘Per Drop More Crop – Micro Irrigation’ program. With this, 4000 crores have been allocated to farmers of various states. The goal of this program is to achieve higher yields by using less water in fields by micro irrigation techniques such as drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.

Nitrogen culture importance in non-leguminous crops
  • Nitrogen is essential for the good production of non-leguminous crop crops like wheat, corn, cotton, vegetables, paddy, sugarcane, etc.
  • Naturally, some bacteria are found in the soil for nitrogen fixation, which converts airborne nitrogen into ammonia.
  • Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Acetobacter, or all nitrogen fixation is Bacteria. 20 to 30 kg of nitrogen can also be saved by using it.
  • The use of these increases the yield of crops by 10 to 20 percent and maintains the natural taste of fruits and grains.
  • By using them, germination is quick and healthy and the growth of roots is more and fast.
  • Crops can make more use of phosphorus from the land. By using such bio-fertilizers, roots and stems grow more,
