DRIP IRRIGATION

WHAT IS IT?

  • Drip irrigation systems deliver water and agrochemicals (e.g., fertilizers and pesticides) directly to the root zones of the irri-gated plants at a rate best suited to meet the needs of the plants being irrigated.
  • Drip irrigation equipment consists of a network of pipes, which is laid on the fields. The pipes have small holes at regular inter-vals for water to trickle down to the plants.
