A new technique of irrigation, Which will use every drop of water in the fields

Drip irrigation
  • Water availability for the successful production of a good crop is an important factor. Due to the ever-increasing population and climate change, the water available in the ground is decreasing. 

  • due to which the production of crops is constantly decreasing. Drip irrigation was invented to solve this problem which has proved to be a boon for farmers.

  •  In this method, water is transported directly from plastic pipes’ sources to plants’ roots. It’s called fertigation. 

  • Saves 60-70% of water compared to other irrigation systems.

  • Drip irrigation helps plants to provide nutrients with greater efficiency.

  • Drip irrigation can prevent losses of water (due to evaporation and leakage).

  • Water in drip irrigation is given directly to the crop roots. Due to this, the surrounding soil becomes dry, and weeds cannot be grown.

Importance of Drip Irrigation

  • With the help of drip irrigation system technology, 60 to 70 percent water is saved in the cotton crop.

  • This method has shown an increase in the yield of crops to a great extent. Drip irrigation is the most efficient water and nutrient delivery system for growing crops.

  • It delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone of the plant, in the right amount, at the right time, so each plant gets exactly what it needs, so it can grow optimally. 

  • Drip irrigation saves water, electricity, labor and cost and reduces the amount of fertilizer required. Along with this, weeds can also be controlled, by using this the level of humidity also remains favorable.

Government is giving 4 thousand crores rupees to farmers for promoting drip irrigation

Government is giving 4 thousand crores rupees to farmers for promoting drip irrigation

Farmers are now using drip irrigation methods for irrigation. The Central Government is also promoting it and has allocated 4 thousand crores for various state farmers under the “Per Drop More Crop” scheme. The main objective behind this scheme is to increase yields by reducing water use in farming.

It is worth noting that the Central Government has launched the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana to use every drop of water in the irrigation process. Under this scheme, ‘Per Drop More Crop – Micro Irrigation’ program is being run.

Modern technology of irrigation has been emphasized under the ‘Per Drop More Crop – Micro Irrigation’ program. With this, 4000 crores have been allocated to farmers of various states. The goal of this program is to achieve higher yields by using less water in fields by micro irrigation techniques such as drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.

  • February – March sown crop, first irrigation is given 2-3 days after sowing.
  • After that irrigation givens at 7-8 day interval.

Drip irrigation

  • Install drip system with main and sub-main pipes and place the inline lateral tubes at an interval of 1.5 m. Place the drippers at an interval of 60 cm and 50 cm spacing with 4 LPH and 3.5 LPH capacities respectively.
