Question

Describe drip irrigation method and its advantages

Answer 1

Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigationsystem that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone and minimize evaporation. Drip irrigation systems distribute water through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. Depending on how well designed, installed, maintained, and operated it is, a drip irrigation system can be more efficient than other types of irrigation systems, such as surface irrigation or sprinkler irrigation.

The advantages of drip irrigationare: Fertilizer and nutrient loss is minimized due to a localized application and reduced leaching. Water application efficiency is high if managed correctly. ... Soil type plays a less important role in thefrequency of irrigation.
