Subsidy for drip irrigation
Staff Reporter
Krishnagiri: Farmers who want to apply for 50 per cent subsidy for drip irrigation for coconut and sugarcane crops should contact the block-level Assistant Directors of Agriculture or Agricultural Officers for details.
According to a release, the department will provide a maximum subsidy of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 28,000 per hectare for installation of drip irrigation systems.
About 10 firms have been identified in Krishnagiri district under this scheme. The subsidy will be released to the firm and the balance amount should be paid by the farmer.
Under drip irrigation, water can be applied at the right time at right place in required quantity.
Reduces wastage
This also facilitates irrigation of additional area with the available well water in the farm.
Requirement of irrigation labour is nil and can also be mixed with soluble fertilizers. This also reduces the wastage of fertilizers.
Under the National Horticultural Mission, the district administration will extend 50 per cent subsidy for drip and sprinkler irrigation to farmers for cultivation of horticulture crops such as mango, guava, neem, banana and cashew nut. A farmer is eligible for subsidy for a maximum five hectares.
Applications
The applications should be sent through the Assistant Directors of Agriculture in the respective blocks. The subsidy will be released to the firm and the balance amount should be paid by the farmer. Cane growers could apply through the Dharmapuri District Cooperative Sugar Mills at Palacode or contact the block-level officers of the Agriculture Department.
