Plants require water and nutrients at the root zone for healthy growth and higher yields, making irrigation essential. Among various irrigation methods, drip irrigation stands out with the highest water use efficiency (90-95%) compared to traditional methods like flood or furrow irrigation. Drip irrigation minimizes water loss, maintains field capacity, reduces labor and energy costs, and improves crop yield and soil health. It’s particularly effective in arid regions and supports sustainable farming. With increasing water scarcity and global challenges, farmers must shift toward precision irrigation and digital farming for better returns and long-term agricultural viability.
