Mechanized Raised-Bed Irrigation - Production Package
Gaps in crop water-productivity and yield of small irrigated fields are estimated to be around 40 percent. To realize higher productivity gains, a package of interventions is required, not just a single one. The synergic combination of advances in affordable technology and optimal management of production factors has proven successful in increasing crop yields and associated farmers’ incomes. Moreover, applied irrigation water amounts are reduced.
