💧 Irrigation & Water
నీటిపారుదల — drip vs sprinkler vs furrow; scheduling for water-saving.
The workflow
flowchart LR
A[Water source<br/>bore / canal / pond] --> B{Method}
B -->|Drip| C[80-90% efficiency<br/>fertigation friendly]
B -->|Sprinkler| D[Suited for closely<br/>spaced crops]
B -->|Furrow| E[Low-cost<br/>heavy losses]
C --> F[Schedule by<br/>tensiometer / ET]
D --> F
E --> F
F --> G[Save 30-50% water]
Drip pays back in 2 seasons on most horticulture crops.
Key takeaways
Inject 1 L/acre of silicon spreader (APSA80, Agri82) into the drip line to dissolve fertilizer clumps and unblock emitters instead of replacing lines.
