Water Evaporation and Weeds Control by Mulching in Drip Irrigation System
Abstract
Efficient use of available water resources is very important for developing countries like India in the scarcity of irrigation water. In Water Evaporation and Weeds Control by Mulching in Drip Irrigation System agriculture, India occupies a prominent position. Micro irrigation is an advanced technology that reduces the losses of the water evaporation and distribution system.
Ultimately, it leads to an increase in product quality and quantity. However, the poor section of the farming population no longer benefits from innovation in micro-irrigation adoption due to its higher costs in India’s Maharashtra and Gujarat states.
Nilkanth et al showed that for small holding of land & in water scared area pitch irrigation is also an alternative to drip irrigation Sweeney and Asiegbu have studied that micro irrigation including mulch can increase crop yield and growth by increasing soil productivity, weed control, etc. depending on the types of mulch.
