What is the most efficient drip irrigation method of watering?

 Most efficient drip irrigation method of watering is to apply it correctly. Irrigation systems can be designed and installed to suit the needs of different properties and soil types. If you are interested in installing an drip irrigation system, make sure that you are working with a qualified professional who is experienced in designing and installing efficient systems.

 

The first step is to assess how much water your plants need and how much moisture your soil can hold. For example, you can estimate the necessary water volume by multiplying the plant’s water requirement by the number of plants you want to irrigate. Another way to estimate water needs is to analyze the soil’s permeability and water-holding capacity.

 

Then, install an irrigation system that delivers water only when it is needed, for example by using drip irrigation or automated rain sensors. The next step is to select a system design that

How precision irrigation helps sugarcane cultivation?

Sugarcane is one of the extensively cultivated crops in India. Sugarcane farmers are always in the pursuit of higher crop yields, increased profitability, higher sucrose content, and an extended ratoon life, and reduced operational costs. Drip irrigation works as a solution here, which is why sugarcane farmers have been upgrading their farms to drip irrigation. Sugarcane cultivation yield has a strong reaction towards temperature, solar radiation and soil conditions. However, in an open farm field, temperature and radiation are beyond human control. Here, drip irrigation plays an instrumental role as it controls every drop of water and nutrient going to the crop, and that too at the right time, to result in a higher amount and quality of yield, along with higher sucrose content and extended plant life. Netafim’s Subsurface Drip Irrigation helps grow sugarcane yield through the supply of nutrients and water directly to the crop root, and in the required quantities and when required. S

Digital Farming – A Smarter Way of Irrigation

Image
  Probably a decade or two ago, digital farming in India might have seemed a tall tale to everyone. But the seemingly impossible dream of a farmer operating their irrigation systems from home has now been made possible via digital farming.  The Indian agricultural landscape has been a slow adopter of these technological changes. Of course, you cannot blame the farmers’ attitude alone. Commercial viability has been a challenge throughout for most. But things are gradually changing. With digital farming, many Indian farmers have adopted smarter irrigation. Let’s see how digital farming proves to be a more intelligent way of irrigation. What is Digital Farming? Digital agriculture involves using advanced digital technologies integrated into a unified system to enable farmers to help improve food production.  For instance, in India, many farmers decide the amount of fertilizer to be used based on rough measurements, experience, or instincts. They don’t realize the profits or damage until t

7 Advantages Of Drip Irrigation And How You Can Make Full Use Of It

Drip irrigation is considered one of the most efficient and sustainable irrigation techniques across the global agricultural spectrum. It helps farmers achieve more in less, which is why many farmers worldwide are increasingly adopting drip irrigation. If you are new to drip irrigation and want to know its benefits, you’ve come to the right place. This blog talks about seven drip irrigation advantages and also gives some tips to optimize it. 7 Advantages of Drip Irrigation Drip irrigation refers to setting up an irrigation system that involves supplying water through drip emitters that provide water and nutrients to the crop root zone in quantity required by the crop across all its growth stages. Since it is based on the principle of precision irrigation, drip irrigation offers several benefits in the long run. Drip certainly demands some initial investments, but the benefits make it a worthwhile investment. 1.       Water-Savings Water is priceless. But it is one of the scarc
