Why Micro Irrigation is necessary?

• To improve the productivity of irrigated land from the present low levels.
• To improve use-efficiencies of Water, Energy, Nutrient and Human Effort in Agriculture.
• To conserve scarce resources such as Water and Electricity.
• To extend the benefits of irrigated agriculture to more people with the available water.
• To facilitate better crop management through Fertigation and Chemigation.

Principles of Micro Irrigation?

• Water is applied directly to the root zone of the plants.
• Water is applied at frequent intervals at precise quantities based on Crop Water Requirements.
• Water is applied through a low-pressure pipe network comprising Mains, Submains, Laterals and Emitting Devices
