Question
Which irrigation method is suitable for cotton grown in
heavy soils like clay and loam, reducing water usage by 50%?Solution
Skip furrow irrigation is a targeted irrigation method used in cotton farming, where water is applied in alternating furrows, leaving some furrows dry while others receive water. It conserves water by delivering it directly to the root zone of plants, reducing overall water usage and wastage. Method also encourages deeper root growth, enabling plants to access moisture from a larger soil volume, enhancing drought resistance.
