What are the 4 Types of Irrigation?

Blog Article

The four main types of irrigation are surface irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, and sub - surface irrigation. Surface irrigation involves flooding the field or area with water. Sprinkler irrigation sprays water over the plants, similar to rain. Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the plant roots in a slow and controlled manner. Sub - surface irrigation supplies water below the soil surface. In a greenhouse, drip and overhead (a form of sprinkler) irrigation are commonly used. Each type has its own characteristics and is suitable for different situations and plant types.
