Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Irrigation in which water is directed to roots of plants is called drip irrigation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Drip irrigation or trickle 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-3: -Drip Irrigation is the most efficient water and nutrient delivery system for growing crops. It delivers water and nutrients directly to the plant’s root zone, in the right amounts, at the right time, so each plant gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it, to grow optimally.

Detailed explanation-4: -Drip irrigation involves placing tubing with emitters on the ground along side the plants. The emitters slowly drip water into the soil at the root zone. Because moisture levels are kept at an optimal range, plant productivity and quality improve.

Detailed explanation-5: -Microirrigation, also known as drip or trickle irrigation, is an irrigation method that drips water slowly onto plant roots, either via the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a system of pipes, valves, tubing, and emitters.
