What is the main difference between sprinkle irrigation and drip irrigation?
What is the main difference between sprinkle irrigation and drip irrigation?
- Sprinkle irrigation applies water under high pressure, while drip irrigation emits water directly to the soil through emitters. (correct)
- Drip irrigation irrigates most soil types well, while sprinkle irrigation can only be used for specific crops.
- Drip irrigation uses high pressure, while sprinkle irrigation uses buried drip tubes.
- Sprinkle irrigation releases water directly into the soil, whereas drip irrigation sprays water into the air.
What is the purpose of subsurface drip irrigation?
What is the purpose of subsurface drip irrigation?
- To irrigate most soil types well due to a wide range of discharge capacity.
- To provide frequent light irrigations using buried drip tubes. (correct)
- To release water similar to rainfall through small-diameter nozzles.
- To apply water under high pressure with the help of a pump.
