The document compares the yields, water usage, and savings of various crops under surface irrigation and drip irrigation. It found that drip irrigation consistently increased yields by 30-100% while reducing water usage by 30-60% across all crops studied. Some key advantages of drip irrigation listed are increased yields and profits, water savings, fewer weeds and pests, suitability for different soil types, and ease of performing other agricultural tasks during irrigation. However, drip irrigation is not suitable for frost protection or cooling crops and cannot irrigate large areas like sprinklers.
