Abstract
Precision irrigation is a water management strategy that applies water to crops based on their specific needs. It is a sustainable practice that can help to increase crop yields, reduce water use, improve fertilizer use efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. This chapter offers a detailed overview of precision irrigation for sustainable agricultural productivity. It defines precision irrigation and discusses its benefits, types, components, design, implementation, management, applications, and economic and environmental benefits. The chapter also discusses the role of precision irrigation in sustainable agriculture, challenges and opportunities for adoption, and the future of precision irrigation. It is intended to be a valuable resource for farmers, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders interested in learning more about precision irrigation's role in sustainable agriculture.
