Very nice indeed. Pardon my questions, I am fairly ignorant when it comes to drip:
Why are the drip lines laid across the furrows?
When the land needs to be tilled the next time, do you roll up the drip lines to get them out of the way? Or is there a way to leave them in place?
Is this system gravity fed or through a pump? What HP pump motor if there is one? Given the depth of the main/sub lines, I assume a pump is needed.
Is there a sump feeding this system?
You mentioned a 40cm spacing - can this be modified or can each feeder be individually crimped so if needed, can the spacing be changed to 80 cm by crimping alternate lines?
What is the typical life of: 1. The main/sub lines and 2. The drip lines?
What is the indicative cost of this system, end to end, for the 3 acre lot (excluding subsidy)?
How does one flush the drip system to combat salt formation from hard water?
Ans-You can use drip lines as for your convenience.
Ans-Drip pipes can be rolled/shift to another opposite plot or remove during tilling.
Ans-12.5 HP bore well motor fitted under 400 feet deep, no extra pump is required.
No, it is not required.
Ans- Spacing of dripper can be 30 cm, 40,60 cm or any other measurement as per your crops water requirement. You can pre order for your required spacing.
Their no typical answer for this question, it depends on how you take care of them. That is why I under laying them in the ground to protect and enhance their life span. I am expecting their life span for 20 years, in worst case scenario 10 years.
Indicative cost will depends on the spacing of drip lines and pipe lines.
Cost depends on the way of execution- Through Dealer in one rate, personal installation is different rate for same product.
Use bleaching powder or any other chemical to address such problem.
I invite attention of any chemical engineer or expert to provide more options/information to this question.

Hi? Now few fruits are ready to consume, this summer may not be hot full as weather forecast is favoring to get rains in short time.
Now training consisting of Agriculture activities with visiting local markets to know the agri produce business, Horticulture and art of doing business with your products, Animal husbandry along with market survey, dairy visits and meeting with local private and public dairies and farmers associated with it. Visiting nearest progressive Farmers is also part of training.
Additionally, watching of wild animals like peacock, wild bore, bear etc and identifying wild fruits are part of the training.
Mango, Cashew and other wild fruits are ready and welcoming your arrival.
Today we (my wife and I) had the honor of visiting Swamy Sir at his farm near Tumkur. He was extremely gracious, hospitable and generous with his time. Since his helpers were away, he himself plucked tender coconut (very expertly I must say) and served it to us, together with some very choice bananas and cashew fruit. He was also very patient in explaining how to go about setting up our farm (we have 1 acre at Shoolagiri), how to decide which crops to grow, how to organise drip irrigation and a lot of other very useful tips and tricks. We spent a very enlightening 2 hours in his company, and he showed us around his farm, shared his plans, and asked us to help ourselves to the delicious cashew fruits and raw totapuri mangoes.
I consider myself very lucky to have met him and learn from him, and look to his continued mentorship and guidance (which he graciously agreed) as I work on setting up my own farm.
