SYSTEM COST OF TRICKLE IRRIGATION


Trickle systems are generally considered capital intensive. However they have a long life –in some cases exceeding 20 years with high quality component materials. The per land unit cost of the systems is highly variable and depends on the land area to be brought under trickle system, the type of crop , and the spacing between plants.

Typically, in Pakistan, the cost varies from Rs 60,000 to 80, 000 per hectare for system installed with imported components. For systems laid with local components the cost may reduce to 40,000 to 60,000 per hectare.
