What is drip irrigation?
Drip irrigation is a form of irrigation where water is literally applied as drops to each plant from a dripper attached to a plastic pipe This form of irrigation can be very h…elpful on undulating land, and uses limited water supply to its best advantage. Drip irrigation is also called trickle irrigation and it is the best method of irrigation because, by the falling of water drop by drop into the roots, the water does not get wasted.It is also known as micro-irrigation.In this system water falls drop by drop just as the root zone.This system minimizes the use of water and fertilizers by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone through a network of valves, pipes, tubes and emitters.
