Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

Saves labour costs

Micro irrigation is the practice of using facilities such as drippers, sprinklers, and foggers to irrigate crops. This method provides the required amount of water for a particular crop at regular intervals of time, thus saving water. It also distributes fertilisers through the water. This practice saves man-hours and, therefore, labour expenses.
