What are the benefits of drip irrigation in agriculture?

It is the most effective water-saving irrigation method in arid and water-deficient areas at present, and the water utilization rate can reach 95%. Drip irrigation is more effective than sprinkler irrigation in saving water and increasing yield, and can be combined with fertilization to improve fertilizer efficiency by more than one time. It can be used for irrigation of fruit trees, vegetables, cash crops and greenhouses, and can also be used for irrigation of field crops in arid and water-deficient areas. Its disadvantage is that the emitter is easy to scale and block, so the water source should be strictly filtered.

Save water and labor, increase production and income. Because water does not flow in the air and leaves are not wet during irrigation, the interference of crops and weeds on nutrients is greatly reduced, and the labor of weeding is reduced. Because the root zone of crops can maintain the best water supply and fertilizer supply, it can increase production.
