In drip irrigation, the water and water-soluble nutrients required for plant growth are delivered directly to the root zone in controlled amounts, exactly when and where needed.
Small quantities of water are applied at frequent intervals before soil moisture is depleted.
Irrigation starts before the soil loses its moisture balance.
The plant receives just enough water to meet its daily or short-term needs.
This prevents water stress caused by either excess or lack of moisture.
Ensures efficient and economical use of water.
Irrigates larger areas effectively with less water.
Prevents soil salinity and salt accumulation.
Supplies water precisely according to the plant’s needs.
Reduces weed growth since water is applied only to the root zone.
Allows irrigation in areas with high groundwater levels without raising the water table.
Enables erosion-free irrigation on sloped terrains.
Easy to install, dismantle, and store.
Allows field operations and harvesting during or immediately after irrigation.
Saves on pesticides, fertilizers, and labor costs.
Increases crop yield and product quality.
