Field investigation were carried out at Collage of Technology and Engineering, Udaipur, during Kharif season (July, 2012-November, 2012) to evaluate the economic feasibility of drip fertigation system in okra (Mahyco Bhindi No. 64). The results revealed that drip fertigation recorded significantly higher yield of okra crop. The economic analysis shows that the net income obtained under 75 per cent RDF through fertigation in equal splits at 5 days interval was higher than that of furrow and drip irrigation system. Furrow and drip irrigation registered lower benefit-cost ratio because of higher investment cost and lower income from produce of the furrow and drip system while, the maximum gross benefit cost ratio i.e. 3.33 was observed in 75% RDF through fertigation in equal splits at 7 days interval, due to low initial investment of the treatment and meanwhile higher income received from produce. Thus, drip fertigation system indicates the economic feasibility for higher productivity and sustainable okra production.Keywords

The aim of the project is to develop an action plan for watershed management. Watershed management is the process of creating and implementing plans, programmes and projects to sustain and increase watershed functions that affect the plants, animal and human communities inside watershed boundary (Wikipedia). The recent technologies like remote sensing and GIS support use to giving a quicker and cost effective analysis of various applications with accuracy for planning. It also gives a better perspective for understanding the problems and, therefore, helps planners to evolve a better solution for sustainable development. From the final output of these themes generate∼ pond, grassed waterways, percolation tank and check dams are recommended for the study area, mainly to control sedimentation from the catchments. To increase the groundwater recharge and vegetative cover to control soil erosion, various action plans like construction of recharge structures, afforestation etc. have been proposed. This project describes in brief the work carried out for the study area using remote sensing and GIS.Keywords
