The importance of farm irrigation

in Steem Cameroon3 years ago

Farm Irrigation is the process of bringing in water into your farm to ensure that it stays wet and productive espercially in the course of the dry season. One of the most important reasons for irrigation is to maintain an all year round production irrespective of the season.This can be cost effective and most affordable when well planned. A possible irrigation system is a factor to consider when establishing a farm anywhere .

My brother harnessing water into our garden for irrigation purposes

Irrigation is a very important process needed in growing your agricultural products. Crops need water so much during the dry season to be able to survive. Irrigation is most important for the revegetation of the soil during the dry season or during periods with lesser irrigation consolidates soil prevention, weed suppression and much more. Irrigation helps farmer in several ways. One of the most obvious benefits of an irrigation system is it protects plants ,,crops and trees from suffering from droughts.A well irrigated farm will ensure that crops are getting the proper amount of water that they need.

This garden can survive the dry season thanks to a good and functional irrigation system.

A properly installed irrigation system has several advantages for you and your farm. It save you time, energy and money from paying others to fetch water to keep the farm wet , manually.It also creates and maintains a green looking farm especially when you grow vegetables.
Watering manually may cost you more than you can imagine. Your manual watering system may fail you. You may need to consider a good irrigation system if you notice that there is inadequate water distribution, brown grass and dying plants. You may also notice that your irrigation system is old and has a bad sprinkler head, leaky valves or an improper drainage system there was a need to consider a replacement to ensure a great irrigation system in your farm. Thank you for reading.
