Abstract: Modern experimentation with drip irrigation systems began in England in the 1940s. However, not until the innovation of polyethylene plastics in the 1960s did drip irrigating begin to gain momentum. Traditionally, irrigation had relied upon a broad coverage of water to an area that may or may not contain plants. Promoted for water conservation, drip irrigation does just the opposite. It applies small amounts of water (usually every two or three days) to the immediate root zone of plants.
