Advantages of drip irrigation
Fertilizer and nutrient loss is minimized due to localized application and reduced leaching
Water application efficiency is high.
Field leveling is not necessary
Moisture within the root zone can be maintained at field capacity
Soil type plays less important role in frequency of irrigation.
Soil erosion is minimized
Weed growth is minimized.
Water distribution is highly uniform, controlled by output of each nozzle.
Variation in supply can be regulated by regulating the valves
