Agriculture

Agriculture is the main occupation of the Krishnapuram people. Krishnapuram is bounded by farmlands and crop fields in all the direction. Most of the farming includes coconut, paddy rice, mango, sugarcane, cotton, millet, roots and tuber crops, maize, cucumber, pumpkin and numerous fresh vegetable. There are no mango farms in Krishnapuram. Most of the farms are seen in the outskirts of the village and nearby Ayyanar Koil Forest Area or Western Ghats.

Most of the irrigation processes are carried out in traditional ways. The sources of the irrigation water are mostly wells and in some cases surface water are being pumped into the farmlands.
