Abstract/Description: | Main focus of the present study is to analyse the current potential of various irrigation technologies adopted by farmers to mitigate crop risks in view of climate change. This also analyses important factors determining farmers' choice of specific technologies adopted by them. Findings of this study are based on the primary data collected from 116 sample farmers of Sholapur district of Maharashtra. Current study revealed that the adopted irrigation technologies have proved highly beneficial as farmers shifted from production of staple cereal food crops to demand- driven crops viz. vegetables and fruits. Adoption of drip or sprinkler irrigation system has significantly higher benefit-cost (B:C) ratio than conventional irrigation methodologies adopted usually by farmers. Fitting of Legit model to the data revealed that the probability of adoption of irrigation technologies by farmers depends on benefit-cost (B:C) ratio, farm size, subsidy, access to credit and collective action undertaken by farmers. Salient outcome of the study is that overexploitation of groundwater should be discouraged and water saving techniques must be adopted to improve farm level efficiency. |
