Double basin irrigation
What is double basin irrigation? Is it suitable for all crops?
K. Ram Prasad
Gurgaon, Haryana
A circular trench is dug at a distance of about 1-2 feet away from the stem. A second circular trench is also dug around the first trench. Water is irrigated in the space between the two trenches. Coconut husks can also be placed in the two trenches and covered lightly with fine soil. The coconut husks absorb the water like a sponge and release the water during high temperatures to the crop roots and keep the area moist. This type of irrigation can be done for most fruit trees and some vegetable crops.
