Irrigation means providing the water needed by the plant with human intervention to meet the plant’s needs. When plants cannot get the amount of water they need in a normal way and with the intervention of humans, it is called irrigation.
In short, if you intervene in the supply of water needed by human plants, it is called irrigation.
Irrigation in plants depends on the following factors, so dear farmers, dear compatriots and farmers, while irrigating your fields, consider the following points separately and follow them according to field experiences and extension guidelines.
- The nature of the soil.
- The nature of the plant.
- Plant age.
- Season or time.
- Temperature or warmth of the air.
- Irrigation time.
Each of the above-mentioned factors has several other factors that play an important role in irrigation.
Soil type:
It has a major role in irrigation and water retention in the building land and soil texture.
1- Soils that have more pores and more porosity have less water retention and moisture storage in them, such as sandy soils that require more irrigation, and are saturated earlier, on the contrary, in the process of losing water, the capacity to store moisture and It has less water.
2- Soils that have organic materials have more ability to retain and preserve moisture, compared to other soils, they have the capacity to retain and store water and moisture in a better way.
3- Soils that have very small pores and small particles stuck together, such as coarse soils, which have more water retention capacity, but the growth and development of plant roots are slow and less.
Nature of plants:
God has created everything different and with special characteristics and features, in this way, the world of plants has complexities like other creatures.
Even though the plants are from the same genus, family, genus and species, there are significant differences between them. Therefore, the type of plant plays an essential role in irrigation.
