Top 5 benefits of Drip Irrigation in Agriculture Fields
Drip irrigation is a micro irrigation system that delivers water to plants at the root zone minimizing water loss. Here are some of its benefits
Drip irrigation can save up to 70% of water compared to flood irrigation and other conventional methods.
1. Water Conservation
As the water use efficiency will be improved by drip irrigation, it can increase crop yields as there is minimum loss of water
2. Increased Crop Yield.
Crops grown with drip irrigation are healthier, grow consistently and mature faster compared to conventionally irrigated crops
3. Improved Crop Health
Drip irrigation reduces the amount of water lost to surface runoff, which helps to prevent soil erosion
4. Reduced Soil Erosion
Drip irrigation can increase fertilizer use efficiency as it do not cause leaching of fertilizer with excess water.
5. Increased Fertilizer Efficiency
Efficient water conservation with a drip irrigation system can be achieved with improved yield of crops with optimum use of water.
