Abstract

This paper presents the review of water and nutrient distribution in crop under micro irrigation. Water and nutrient application under micro-irrigation gives farmers the ability to use crop inputs more effectively and precisely. More effective use of inputs means greater crop yield and/or quality, without polluting the environment. Micro irrigation can address both economic and environmental issues that surround production agriculture today. It is clearly indicated that drip irrigation requires less irrigation water with increased irrigation efficiency and ensure uniform distribution of water and fertilizers as compared to conventional methods. Fertigation also increases the fertilizer use efficiency, which leads to increase in yield and income. The right combination of water and nutrients is the key factor for high yield and the quality of produce.
