Vegetables are vital for India's agriculture and nutrition. The country is the world's second largest vegetable producer, contributing 14.45 % of global output at 90.8 million metric tons. Micro-irrigation enhances water efficiency, reducing water needs while boosting yields. Drip fertigation, using soluble fertilizers, improves root systems, saving water (30-70%) and increasing productivity (20-80%) for various crops. This approach triples yields with the same water amount. Efficient water use is essential for vegetable growth and resource conservation.
