Answer

The advantages of Drip irrigation are as follows:

  1. It is the most advanced and efficient method of irrigation.
  2. This system consists of perforated pipes that are placed between rows of crops or buried along their root lines and give water directly on to the crops.
  3. As a result, evaporation is drastically reduced and irrigation water is conserved.
  4. Drip irrigation allows the grower to customise an irrigation programme most beneficial to each crop.
