The water was pumped through 7.5 H P motor and conveyed to the main line of 63 mm OD PVC pipes after filtering through sand filter. In the main line, ventury was installed for fertigation. From the main pipe, sub mains of 40 mm OD PVC pipes were drawn. From the sub main, laterals of 12 mm LDPE pipes were installed at an interval of 1.50 m. Each lateral was provided with individual tap control for imposing irrigation and fertigation treatments. Along the laterals, inline drippers were fixed at a spacing of 60 cm. The wetting diameter of dripper is 0.6m with discharge rate of 4 lit hr-1. Sub mains and laterals were closed at the end with end cap. After installation, trial run was conducted to assess mean dripper discharge and uniformity co-efficient. This was taken into account for fixing the irrigation water application time.
