Micro irrigation the slow and targeted application of irrigation water to prescribed soil volumes has become the fastest growing segment of the irrigation industry worldwide and has the potential to increase the quantity and quality of food supply through improved water and fertilizer efficiency. Continuous research and development have improved emitter design, system design and installation water filtration and treatment and system and crop management. Advancements in computers and data acquisition have also enhanced the ability to monitor and control the micro irrigation system which has led to broad acceptance in both large and small commercial field operations.…
