Drip irrigation explained (Spanish Edition)

Drip irrigation is a water application technique aimed at improving water use to maximize crop yield. It involves slowly applying water directly to plant roots in order to minimize evaporation and leakage. Nuclear techniques are used to determine the precise amount of water a plant needs and the appropriate application times and intervals.
