Question

3. The drip irrigation method is a boon in area with water scarcity.​

Answer 1

${\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}}}}$

• Drip irrigation is an irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Drip Irrigation

This method of irrigation is gaining popularity in areas with a scarcity of water. Narrow pipes with small holes are laid on the fields. When water flows through the pipes, it drips at the place of the roots of the plants. The roots absorb the water and supply it to the plants. Furthermore, no water is wasted in this method.

Advantages

Water reaches directly to the roots of the plants.

It saves a lot of water, which can be utilized for irrigating more area.

Weeds do not grow because the water reaches directly to the plants and do not spread anywhere on the field.

Crop yield is increased in this method.

The area near the plants is dry so bacterial growth is limited.

It reduces the use of water in agriculture.
