Abstract
A field experiment was conducted under farmer’s scenario to study the comparative performance of drip and furrow irrigated tomato crop in an experimental field located inside the Kakanpur experimental research farm of CAET Godhra in tribal dominated Panchmahal district of Middle Gujarat. The experiment was aimed to learn and visualize the relative benefits /field performances of various simpler configurations of irrigation schedules, keeping focus towards prevailing conditions and farmers in the region. These simpler treatments consist of Drip applications of irrigation water encompassing actually required as well as deficit irrigation volumes at pre-identified time intervals, meeting the set irrigation demands. Three specific irrigation regimes being 0.6 ETc, 0.8ETc and 1.0ETc were adopted herein. The location specific daily values of ETc for the experimental plots during experimental period were worked out by adopting standard sets of procedures & protocols. Suitable values of crop coefficients
