    Irrigation is the process of applying water to land to assist in crop and plant production. It has been used in agriculture for over 5,000 years globally. There are different types of irrigation systems that vary in how water is applied, including drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and micro-irrigation. Drip irrigation in particular saves water and resources by slowly releasing water directly to plant roots through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. It has increased in popularity among farmers.

    IRRIGATION

    Irrigation is the agricultural process of applying controlled amounts of water to land to assist in the
    production of crops,] as well as to grow landscape plants and lawns, where it may be known as watering.
    Agriculture that does not use irrigation but instead relies only on direct rainfall is referred to as rain-fed.
    Irrigation has been a central feature of agriculture for over 5,000 years and has been developed
    independently by many cultures across the globe.

    Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry
    areas and during periods of less than average rainfall. Irrigation also has other uses crop production,
    including frost protection, suppressing weed growth in grain fields and preventinsoil
    consolidation.Irrigation systems are also used for cooling livestock, dust suppressi disposal of sewage,
    and in mining. Irrigation is often studied together with drainage, which is the removal of surface and
    sub-surface water from a given location.

    There are various types of irrigation. Micro-irrigation uses less pressure and water flow than overhead
    irrigation. Drip irrigation trickles out at the root zone.

    There are several methods of irrigation. They vary in how the water is supplied to the plants. The goal is
    to apply the water to the plants as uniformly as possible, so that each plant has the amount of water it
    needs, neither too much nor too little. Irrigation can also be understood whether it is supplementary to
    rainfall as happens in many parts of the world, or whether it is 'full irrigation' whereby crops rarely
    depend on any contribution from rainfall. Full irrigation is less common and only happens in arid
    landscapes experiencing very low rainfall or when crops are grown in semi-arid areas outside of any
    rainy seasons

    1. DRIP IRRIGATION

    Saving resources, reducing wastage and maximizing production drip


    Irrigation system has enabled the farmer to earn higher income from their limited
    land area.

    Giving the farmer more crop per drop, Drip Irrigation system is becoming the
    favored choice of increasing number of farmers.

    APPLICATIONS
    Water scarce lands and land spacing

    Kitchen gardening

    Greenhouse and vertical farming

    Crop farming - Grapes, banana, tomato, citrus fruits, sugarcane, maize etc.

    On undulated lands

    COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEMS

    Drippers

    Drip laterals

    Flat drippers

    Openable threaded drippers


    Benefits of using Drip Irrigation System
    User-friendly usage:Easy supply of water on high terrains and wat er
    scarce lands

    Increased utility:Uniform and efficient water distribution

    Contribute to conservation:Irrigation of more land with leswater and


    reduce wastage

    Go easy on the fertilizer spend:Controlled discharge helps in less usage


    of fertilizer

    Increased yield efficiency:Give boost to the farm yield capacity with


    efficient drip solutions

    Improved production:Proper fertigation increases quality and quantity


    of produce

    Feasibility around the year:Suitable product for continuous use during


    all seasons

    Low power and labor cost:Improved technology helps in saving power


    and labor cost
