Subsurface Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

An irrigation method where water is applied below the soil surface. Benefits include reduced evaporation and interference with surface activities, and efficient water use.

StarStarStarStar

Mulching

StarStarStarStar

Application of a layer of material on the surface of soil. Benefits include moisture conservation, improved soil fertility, and temperature regulation.

StarStarStarStar

Rainwater Harvesting

StarStarStarStar

The collection and storage of rainwater for agricultural use. Benefits include reducing dependency on groundwater and providing water during dry spells.

StarStarStarStar

Crop Rotation

StarStarStarStar

A practice of growing different types of crops in the same area in sequenced seasons. Benefits include improved soil fertility and reduced soil erosion.

StarStarStarStar

Ridge-Till Farming

StarStarStarStar

A tillage system that involves planting crops on ridges formed during cultivation. Benefits include better water drainage and reduced soil erosion.

StarStarStarStar

Irrigation Scheduling

StarStarStarStar

The process of determining the appropriate times and quantities of water application. Benefits include efficient water use, prevention of water stress, and reduced energy costs.

StarStarStarStar

Deficit Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

A strategy by which water supply is reduced below maximum levels and crops are subjected to a certain level of water deficit. Benefits include water savings and potentially enhanced crop quality.

StarStarStarStar

Contour Plowing

StarStarStarStar

Plowing along the contours of the land, as opposed to plowing downhill. Benefits include reduced runoff, increased water infiltration, and decreased soil erosion.

StarStarStarStar

Drip Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

A type of micro-irrigation system that aims to conserve water by delivering it directly to the roots of plants. Benefits include improved water efficiency and reduced evaporation losses.

StarStarStarStar

Cover Cropping

StarStarStarStar

Growing certain crops to cover the soil rather than for harvest. Benefits include soil protection, enhanced organic matter, and weed suppression.
