Agricultural sector consumes the largest percentage of freshwater to cater to the need for food forever increasing population but the resources like land and water are becoming scares. Therefore, we need to increase water use efficiency by incorporating the modern drip method of irrigation. One of the ways of alleviating water scarcity is by enhancing its use efficiency or productivity. Improving Water use efficiency (WUE) and fertilizer use efficiency in agriculture will require an increase in crop water productivity (an increase in marketable crop yield per unit of water used by plant) and reduction in water losses from the crop root zone. |
