A field experiment was conducted from December 2011 to April 2012 in farmer's field at Yeragera village, Raichur, with a view to work out water requirement of groundnut crop under different micro sprinkler irrigation levels and surface irrigation. The comparison was made in terms of growth, yield and quality parameters between surface and different levels of micro sprinkler irrigation. Further the experiment also aimed to compare various irrigation efficiencies and economics of different levels of micro sprinkler irrigation versus surface irrigation.
