INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Watering plants by drip irrigation method is a more economical way of watering plants. In this technique, water is supplied drop by drop near the plant roots through the small opening is called as drippers. By this method, there is no loss of water due to seepage, run off or evaporation. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-2: -Drip irrigation is sometimes called trickle irrigation and involves dripping water onto the soil at very low rates (2-20 litres/hour) from a system of small diameter plastic pipes fitted with outlets called emitters or drippers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: In drip irrigation water falls drop by drop at the position of the roots. Q. Slow application of water drop by drop to the root zone of a crop is also called as drip irrigation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Drip irrigation delivers water and nutrients directly to the plant’s root system. Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -Improper drip irrigation installation often culminates into poor root development and dieback. For example, looping your tubing too wide or installing a small quantity of water emitters creates drought conditions where roots continually grow – they may resort to shallow growth to find moisture and die back.
