Drip irrigation: water savings of 30-50%
KisanMitra Advisory · Apr 17, 2026
Drip works best for vegetables, fruits, sugarcane, and cotton — payback within 2-3 seasons.
A typical 1-acre drip system costs ₹35,000-₹55,000 (subsidy up to 55-90% under PMKSY). It delivers water directly to the root zone, reduces weed pressure, and allows fertigation. Maintain filters; flush mainline weekly to prevent emitter clogging.
