Micro Irrigation Systems: Need of The Hour

In current time, farmers are facing the biggest challenge of dealing with water scarcity as they do not have water to farm or cultivate. If we could find a way to optimize the usage of irrigational water, then this would probably be the apt solution. And the best part is, micro irrigation system proves to be one of the most effective techniques in this direction. Due to all these pivotal factors global micro irrigation systems market is expected to grow significantly in the near future. Micro irrigation facilitates is optimizing the flow of water and hence, provides an economical method for farming. These systems could also be employed to increase the unit quantum of water and yield per unit area. 

Micro Irrigation Systems Market

Micro irrigation is one of the advanced irrigation methods which is employed to achieve the above-mentioned benefits. Apart from improving the water productivity, these systems reduce the water logging and salinization problems. In simple words, it could be said that micro irrigation is the frequent application of reduced quantities of water directly, either below or above the surface of the soil. Usually, water is supplied in the form of discrete drops, tiny streams, or continuous drops, by employing emitters which are placed along with the water delivery line. This system helps in delivering measured and required quantity of water in comparatively smaller amounts, towards the individual group of plants. Such systems could deliver the water directly to the plant root zones which maintain with the ideal moisture conditions required for the development of plant. 

If compared, micro irrigation with the traditional methods, then it could be seen that there are many other benefits that micro irrigation system has apart from the water savings. For instance, it reduces the risk of soil erosion that otherwise is the major risk in other conventional forms of irrigation techniques. Along with these, reduced labor cost, reduced weed growth, and suitability to adapt to all sorts of land terrains are few of the advantages which make these systems stand above the traditional methods. This is the primary reason behind the surging growth of the global micro irrigation systems market. Micro irrigation systems could be classified into surface systems, sub-surface systems and bubbler systems. In surface systems, laterals and emitters are laid on the ground, near to root zone area of trees. In sub-surface systems, water pressure is applied slowly, below the surface, through the emitters. In bubbler systems, water is applied to soil in the form of a small stream or fountains. 

The main components of micro irrigation systems are head control unit and distribution networks. Head control unit consists of overhead tank, fertilizer applicator, and various valves and regulators to control the flow of water. Distribution network mainly consists of mainline, sub-mains, laterals, and emitters. Hence, looking at the current scenario, where the farming world is already dealing with the water crisis; micro irrigation is the need of the hour. The increasing installation of these systems is expected to boost the global micro irrigation systems market.
