Reasons you should study this course

• Drip irrigation can help you use water efficiently.
• Drip irrigation reduces water contact with crop leaves, stems, and fruit. Thus conditions may be less favorable for the onset of diseases.
• Irrigation scheduling can be managed precisely to meet crop demands, holding the promise of increased yield and quality.
• Agricultural chemicals can be applied more efficiently with drip irrigation. Since only the crop root zone is irrigated, nitrogen already in the soil is less subject to leaching losses, and applied fertilizer N can be used more efficiently.
• Drip systems are adaptable to oddly shaped fields or those with uneven topography or soil texture
