Drip Irrigation Systems

Drip Irrigation is a modern method ofirrigation in which:

• Water is applied directly to the root zone of the plants.

• Water is applied at frequent intervals at precise quantities based on Crop Water Requirements.

• Water is applied through a low-pressure pipe network comprising Mains, Submains, Laterals and Emitting Devices.

Page 15: EMRC AgriBusiness Forum JAIN

Integrated ApproachIntegrated Approach

• Saving of Irrigation Water

• Crop Yield Enhancement

• Efficient Fertilizer and Chemical Application

• Improved Pest and Disease Control

• Discourages Weed Growth

• Improvement in Quality of Produce

• Saving in Energy for pumping.

• Reduced Labour Costs

• Suitable for Difficult Land Terrain

• Ideal for Marginal Lands and Inferior Quality Waters.

• Maintains Soil Health
