Drip irrigation is the most effective irrigation method since it applies water and nutrients directly to each plant on a field, in the form of drops. This leads to the reduction of water usage from 40% to 200% and increase in the production from 20% up to 90%, depending on the cultivation and irrigation method. These impressive percentages are achieved because drip irrigation provides the ability to apply the water with extreme accuracy (liters per hour) and all nutrients, fertilizers, pesticides etc. directly to each plant. Moreover, the overall production costs are reduced and the quality of the crops is increased by attaining the highest possible uniformity. Those facts enable farmers to achieve higher prices.
The constant increase in population worldwide, leads to a surge in demand for agricultural commodities, while on the same time fresh water reserves are dramatically reduced. Agriculture plays an important role since it is responsible for the consumption of 70% of fresh water. Those factors lead to the constant increase in the demand for drip irrigation products. The market grows with a CAGR of 17% and expected to exceed $4 billion in the coming years.
