StarStarStarStar

Drip Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

Delivers water directly to the plant roots, minimizes evaporation and runoff. Most effective in high value crops and arid regions.

StarStarStarStar

Laser Land Leveling

StarStarStarStar

Creates a flat and even land surface using lasers, which improves irrigation efficiency and water distribution. Most effective on uneven agricultural fields.

StarStarStarStar

Mulching

StarStarStarStar

Covers the soil with a layer of material to reduce evaporation, suppress weeds, and retain moisture. Most effective during the growing season and in conservation tillage systems.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Moisture Sensors

StarStarStarStar

Monitors soil moisture levels to optimize irrigation schedules and prevent overwatering. Most effective when combined with automated irrigation systems.

StarStarStarStar

Buffer Strips

StarStarStarStar

Strips of vegetation planted between fields and water bodies to intercept runoff, trap sediment, and enhance infiltration. Most effective in areas with high runoff potential.

StarStarStarStar

Rainwater Harvesting

StarStarStarStar

Collects and stores rainwater for agricultural use, reducing reliance on other water sources. Most effective in regions with distinct wet and dry seasons.

StarStarStarStar

Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

Integrates trees and shrubs into crop and livestock farming systems, which helps in microclimate regulation and water conservation. Most effective when tailored to local conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Irrigation Scheduling

StarStarStarStar

Plans specific times and amounts of water application, based on weather, soil conditions, and crop requirements. Most effective when consistently monitored and adjusted.

StarStarStarStar

Greywater Recycling

StarStarStarStar

Uses household wastewater (excluding toilet waste) for agricultural irrigation, reducing the demand for freshwater. Most effective in areas with limited water resources.

StarStarStarStar

Deficit Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

Involves applying water below crop water needs, leading to controlled water stress. Most effective with crops that are tolerant to mild water stress.

StarStarStarStar

Surge Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

Applies water intermittently in a series of on-and-off cycles to reduce runoff and improve soil infiltration. Most effective in furrow irrigation systems.

StarStarStarStar

Cover Crops

StarStarStarStar

Plants grown to cover the soil rather than for harvest, helping retain soil moisture and improve structure. Most effective in rotation with primary crops and during fallow periods.
