subsurface irrigation

Subsurface irrigation is a watering method that delivers water directly below the soil surface, near the plant roots, using buried pipes or tubes. This system reduces water loss from evaporation and runoff, ensures consistent moisture levels, and promotes healthy plant growth. It is commonly used in agriculture and landscaping for efficient water use, minimizing wastage and helping conserve water resources. By targeting the root zone directly, subsurface irrigation enhances plant health and can improve crop yields while reducing weed growth and disease risks associated with surface watering.
