TYPES OF TRICKLE IRRIGATION

There are two types of trickle irrigation system that can be installed. These are:

On- surface drip
It is the slow, nearly continuous application of water as discrete drops. It is most suitable for new plantation or very young trees in the orchards.

Sub-surface drip

It involves the use of point and line source emitter to apply water below the soil surface. It is most suitable for shallow rooted crops like vegetables, strawberries etc.
Discharge rate is generally the same as in drip irrigation
