Abstract:
Drip irrigation increases a farmer’s income by enhancing yield and reducing operational costs. Drip Irrigation technique involves the slow application of water to the soil through a network of pipes, emitters, and valves, delivering water directly to the roots of the plants. This approach allows for precise and controlled delivery of water, which is particularly useful in areas with limited water resources, such
as India. Water scarcity is a major problem in India, with many of the country’s population dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. With an increasing population and growing urbanization, the water demand is steadily increasing, leading to a significant strain on the country’s water resources. Drip irrigation can help address this issue by using water more efficiently, reducing waste, and increasing
crop yields. Water stress during critical growth stages significantly affects the yield of horticultural crops. Vegetable crops, particularly, are highly sensitive to water stress, and timely irrigation is essential for optimal yield.
