This study was undertaken to assess the extent and pattern of spread of drip irrigation in grape under Micro Irrigation Scheme in Bijapur district of Karnataka. Primary data were collected from 120 grape cultivators in Bijapur and Indi taluks. Secondary data were collected from State Department of Horticulture. Disbursement of subsidy, area and beneficiary coverage showed significant growth rates of about 57, 46 and 40 per cent, respectively from 2004-05 to 2010-11. The share of beneficiary coverage, area coverage and subsidy disbursement under drip for grape which was about 49, 48 and 52 per cent, respectively during 2004-05 increased to about 86, 87 and 90 per cent, respectively of total drip area for all crops in 2010-11. Delay in sanctioning of loans and approval of subsidy; improper disbursement of subsidy, lack of technical support were some problems faced by farmers in adoption of drip irrigation system. Since there are high dividends from micro irrigation, there is a need for larger quantum of subsidy especially for the small and marginal farmers. Procedures for approval and subsidy disbursement need to be simplified in terms of number of documents, number of days required for approval, etc. With the help of modern information and communication technology tools.
