Question
Mention two disadvantages of Trickle or Drip Irrigation.
Answer in Brief
Solution
Disadvantages of Trickle or drip irrigation systems are:
- The most puzzling problem is that the drippers get clogged. To prevent this, water must be very well-filtered, and chemicals must be used to clean out the system.
- Since the surface isn't watered with the drip irrigation method, there is a certain degree of salting. The salt is washed away if the zone receives more than 300 mm of rain yearly. If this isn't the case with the field's location, supportive surface watering methods must be employed.
- The initial costs of drip irrigation systems are very high.
