Why Jain Drip Irrigation ?


Water is not the only need of the plant. To uptake this water efficiently, it requires proper air-water balance within the root
zone. Drip irrigation, with its low application rate, prevents the saturation of water within the root zone and continuously
maintains field capacity. This provides a favorable condition for the growth of the plant. Drip irrigation also helps to use fer-
tilizer efficiently. With drip irrigation water can be provided at frequent intervals which helps maintain required soil moisture
level within the vicinity of the plant roots. Jain is the pioneer of drip irrigation. Ours is the only company in the world, which
fulfills your entire irrigation system requirement under one roof.

Characteristics of drip irrigation


1) Water is applied at a low rate to maintain optimum
air-water balance within the root zone.
2) Water is applied over a long period of time.
3) Water is applied to the plant and not to the land.
4) Water is applied at frequent intervals.
5) Water is applied via a low pressure network.

Benefits of Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation saves water, energy and labour and results
in higher water use efficiency (WUE).
In an experimental trial conducted in the command area
of Kuttiyadi Irrigation project in Kozhikode, Kerala 67 %
water saving was found.
Yield of nuts under drip method at 30 l/tree/day was
found to be equal with basin irrigation at 600l/tree/day.
Other studies on drip irrigation in Coconut has shown
yield increase up to 30% along with a water saving of 70%.
Drip irrigation and mulching together is more beneficial to
coconuts. A study on soil moisture in coconut plantation
showed that available soil moisture under drip with mulch
was higher by 22 to 29% compared to drip without mulch.
Thus mulching with coconut husks, coir dust and dried
coconut fronds on drip plots are becoming the best water
conservation technology in coconut gardens.

Secondary and Micronutrients
Secondary nutrients like Mg is essential in acid soils
where 500 g MgO is recommended per tree per year.
Micronutrient borax at 50g/tree/year is recommended
wherever crown choking occurs.
In coastal areas lime application of 2kg/tree for trees
up to 15 years and 4 kg/tree for plus 15 years is also
recommended.
