INTRODUCTION OF DRIP IRRIGATION IN COTTON GROWING

Abstract

Now practice has confirmed that drip irrigation is of great importance in saving water resources and preventing water shortages. When using this technology, labor costs, fertilizer and water costs are significantly reduced, and productivity is increased. Drip irrigation provides an even distribution of water, so that the crops receive the necessary amount of water, the soil around the root is kept moist. Mineral fertilizers are applied along with water, the plant is well saturated with them. Soil salinization and groundwater level rise are also prevented, reclamation and irrigation costs associated with water supply are reduced, which is also important.
