• Question 5 of 5 5. Question Consider the following statements regarding Drip Method of Irrigation (DMI). Unlike Flood Method of irrigation (FMI), the drip method supplies water directly to the root zone of a crop through a network of pipes and emitters. DMI reduces leaching of water and nutrients below the root zone. It prevents disease by minimizing water contact with the leaves, stems, and fruit of plants. How many of the above statements is/are incorrect? a) Only one b) Only two c) All three (d) None Correct Solution: d) Unlike Flood Method of irrigation (FMI), the drip method (DMI) supplies water directly to the root zone of a crop through a network of pipes and emitters. Since it supplies water directly to the crop, rather than the land around, water losses occurring through evaporation and distribution are significantly reduced. Drip irrigation is most suitable for row crops (vegetables, soft fruit), tree and vine crops. Other Benefits: Prevents disease by minimizing water contact with the leaves, stems, and fruit of plants. Allows the rows between plants to remain dry, improving access and reducing weed growth. Saves time, money, and water because the system is so efficient. Decreases labor. Increases effectiveness on uneven ground. Reduces leaching of water and nutrients below the root zone.
