Abstract: A study was conducted to determine the energy requirement of sprinkler irrigation for Chick Pea cultivation in Mungeli district of Chhattisgarh Plain. The properties such as water resource, pumping unit, systems equipments, operation pressure, sprinkler’s spacing of the sprinkler systems were investigated and determined with regards to crop. The present study was planned to conduct research each five farmers in 12 different-villages of three blocks of Mungeli district when considered their water resources and pumping units. The research was conducted on totally 60 sprinkler systems. In study, diesel fuel or electric energy, equipment manufacture energy and labour energy consumption of the sprinkler systems were determined. In study, electric energy or diesel fuel, equipment manufacture energy and labour energy consumption of the sprinkler systems were determined. Input and output energy, specific energy and energy ratio of sprinkler irrigation systems were calculated at farmers filed in district. The results revealed that the input energy, output energy, specific energy and output- input energy ratio (energy efficiency) in sprinkler irrigation for production of chickpea in Mungeli district were found to be 12538.25 (MJ ha-1), 30142.5(MJ ha-1), 0.77 (MJ kg-1), 2.4 respectively.
