Question

If the irrigation water contains dissolved salts, _____________ is particularly suitable.

• A. surface irrigation
• B. drip irrigation
• C. sprinkler irrigation
• D. localized irrigation

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

drip irrigation

Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants either from above the soil surface (or) buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone, minimize evaporation to reduce the wastage of minerals.

Thus, drip irrigation is suitable for the irrigation water which contains dissolved salts.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$
