Drip irrigation has several advantages when used on potatoes:
- saves water
- waters more evenly
- waters more gently
The drip irrigation pipe can run either on the soil surface or in the soil. In the photo below the drip irrigation pipe is on top of the potato ridge, so that it will be under the leaf canopy. Loss of moisture from evaporation will therefore be reduced.

The next picture shows the hole in the pipe from which the water continually drips.

Drip irrigation on potatoes is an efficient way of watering potatoes and a good way to increase yield.
