Abstract

The present study was conducted in Pappireddipatti taluk of Dharmapuri District in Tamil Nadu to ascertain the constraints faced by the sugarcane growers in adopting drip (micro) irrigation technology. Altogether, 120 sugarcane growers using drip irrigation system constituted the sample of the study. The major constraints in adoption of drip irrigation technology were frequent clogging in laterals and drippers followed by system damage due to rats and other animals and lack of technical knowledge about maintenance of the drip system.
