Irrigation Water Requirement<br />
The monthly reference evapo-transpiration (ET o ) was estimated by ‘Cropwat’ software. From Table<br />
5, it is evident that the ET o is maximum (4.85 mm/day) in May and minimum (1.37 mm/day) in January.<br />
Total reference evapo-transpiration (ETo) for complete year was found to be is about 1098.02 mm. Total<br />
crop evapo-transpiration (ET c ) for different crops such as maize, sorghum, small vegetables, barley, potato<br />
and pulses was 500 mm, the total irrigation requirement was found to be 189.78 mm. Gross irrigation<br />
requirement in summer season (I S ) (March to mid June) was found to be 12.67 mm and in autumn season in<br />
September to December (I A ) it was 133 mm.<br />
