In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Scope of Micro-Irrigation Systems 2. Principles and Components of Micro-Irrigation Systems 3. Benefits. Scope of Micro-Irrigation Systems: The Water Use Efficiency (WUE) in the Indian agriculture is only about 30-40%, which is one of the lowest in the world. Thus, judicious use of irrigation water needs more attention to enhance total agricultural [...]
