- W1463597558 abstract "The problems encountered by smallholder drip irrigation users in Swaziland are discussed. The continuing drought, rapid population growth and mounting environmental concerns, have resulted in irrigated agriculture being expected and often required to operate with less water than previously allocated. Water supplies have become scarcer and more expensive due to increased pumping costs, and therefore agricultural productivity has to improve. In addition, an expanding population continually exerts new water demands on agriculture. These constraints have forced irrigation farmers to re-evaluate their systems and adopt new technologies such as drip irrigation to maximise water use efficiency. It is for these reasons that smallholder farmers in the Swaziland sugar industry have opted for drip irrigation as a means of expanding their irrigated area rather than because it is a technology they feel comfortable working with. The performance of drip irrigation systems on smallholder grower farms was compared with overhead systems. The cane yields obtained by farmers using drip irrigation are on average lower than those achieved with the dominant overhead systems such as sprinklers and center pivots. Drip irrigation has high installation costs and requires a high level of management to be successful. Field evaluation exercises have highlighted inherent problems caused by poor pressure distribution, leaks and incorrect operation." @default.
