DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES @ SNGCE

Drip irrigation system (DIS).

• Drip irrigation, also known as ‘Trickle irrigation’ or ‘Micro irrigation’.

• It is an irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing the mixture to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone.

• It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly to the base of the plant.
