Drip irrigation is one of the most water-efficient irrigation methods, delivering water directly to the plant roots.

Benefits

  • Even water distribution across plants.
  • Soluble fertilizers can be added with the irrigation water.
  • Less weed growth between rows.

Installation and maintenance tips

  • Install a suitable filter and clean it regularly to prevent clogged drippers.

  • Check the lines regularly for leaks or blocked drippers.
  • Irrigate early in the morning or in the evening to reduce evaporation.
