Delivery of water and nutrients are done across the field in pipes called ‘dripper lines’ featuring smaller units known as ‘drippers’. Each dripper emits drops containing water and fertilizers, resulting in the uniform application of water and nutrients direct to each plant’s root zone, across an entire field. Farmers prefer drip irrigation because compared to other of irrigation methods, it gives farmers an efficient and simple way to operate their farms. Benefits of drip irrigation include higher consistent quality yields, huge water savings ,100% land utilization , energy savings , efficient use of fertilizer and crop protection, and less dependency on weather.
