  • Adjust the frequency of irrigation based on weather conditions, soil type, and crop needs.
  • Ensure that irrigation is consistent, especially during dry periods, to maintain healthy plant growth.
  • Regularly inspect and clean drainage channels to prevent blockages caused by debris, soil, or other obstructions.
