        abstract = {Irrigation is a fundamental requirement for agricultural productivity. In many rural regions, unreliable electricity supply and high installation costs limit the use of electric irrigation systems. This study presents the design, fabrication, and performance evaluation of a power tiller driven irrigation system. A 12 HP diesel engine is used to drive a 7 HP centrifugal pump through a belt drive mechanism. The system is designed to be portable, economical, and efficient. Experimental analysis shows fuel consumption of 1–1.5 L/hr. with consistent discharge. The system provides an effective alternative for small and marginal farmers.},
