As we have no gardener in our school, our garden plants were suffered much due to water scarcity in holidays.

To control the growth of weeds which consume manure from the soil.

To create a change in

our school garden- “

Green Garden, Flower

garden forever…….”Imagine

Drip! Drip! Hurray!Make a hole in the

Advantages of drip irrigation

Fertilizer and nutrient loss is minimized due to localized application and reduced leaching

Water application efficiency is high.

Field leveling is not necessary

Moisture within the root zone can be maintained at field capacity

Soil type plays less important role in frequency of irrigation.

Soil erosion is minimized

Weed growth is minimized.

Water distribution is highly uniform, controlled by output of each nozzle.

Variation in supply can be regulated by regulating the valves
