Irrigation is defined as application of water to soil for the purpose of supplying moisture required for plant growth and development. irrigation methods can be classified as surface irrigation methods and sun surface irrigation methods. surface irrigation methods includes uncontrolled surface flooding and controlled surface flooding. wild flooding comes under uncontrolled type, followed in crops like rice. check basin type of irrigation. Furrows are made in field to provide irrigation. e.g maize. ring basin method – mostly followed in orchard crops where ring like structures are made near base of tree. Border strip irrigation: the field is divided into long parallel strips . Deep furrow method: ridges and furrows are made to provide irrigation, e.g., potato sugarcane. The above-discussed methods fall under controlled type. sprinkler and drip irrigation is followed in case of water conservation.
