Create a chart comparing the efficency and suitability of different irrigation methods for vegetable crops.
Here is a Chart comparing the efficiency and suitability of different irrigation methods for vegetable crops:
Irrigation Method | Water Use Efficiency | Suitability for Vegetable Crops | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|---|---|
1. Surface Irrigation | Low | Suitable for flat land, leafy vegetables | Simple method, low cost | Wastage of water, soil erosion, uneven water |
2. Furrow Irrigation | Moderate | Root crops like potato, carrot, onion | Better water control, less water loss than surface | Labour intensive, not suitable for all crops |
3. Drip Irrigation | Very High | Suitable for high-value crops like tomato, brinjal | Saves water, gives nutrients directly, reduces weed growth | High initial cost, maintenance needed |
4. Sprinkler Irrigation | High | Suitable for all vegetable crops, especially uneven land | Uniform water distribution, less labour | High setup cost, not suitable in windy areas |
5. Basin Irrigation | Low to Moderate | Suitable for fruit crops, large vegetable plants | Easy method, low cost | High water loss, salinity problems |
