Drip Irrigation System
What is drip irrigation?
Drip irrigation is a system designed to deliver water and and
nutrients to crops in the most efficient manner. The system essentially applies
water and nutrients directly to the root zone of the plants to improve
effectiveness. Thus, drip irrigation is the most advanced technology available to
farmer for achieving higher yield in the context of limited resources.
How does drip irrigation work?
A drip irrigation systems consists of a network of "driplines"
which are arranged along the rows of crops. These driplines are embed with
"drippers" or "emitters" which are spaced to coincide with each crop. The drippers
emit drops of water along with plant nutrients directly at the root zone of the
plants. This ensures the goal of per drop more crop.
