¨     Indian Potash Limited (IPL) and Jain Irrigation Systems Limited (JISL) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Indian Potash Limited's Corporate Office, New Delhi.

¨     The MoU aims to promote drip irrigation systems for sugarcane cultivation in Gujarat.

¨     The agreement covers survey, design, supply, installation, commissioning, farmer training, and field demonstrations.

¨     The partnership will also focus on capacity building and technical support for farmers.

¨     Eligible farmers will be assisted in accessing credit facilities and government grant support for adopting Micro Irrigation Systems (MIS).

¨     Drip irrigation is a micro irrigation method that delivers water directly to the root zone of plants through emitters, drippers, or micro-tubes.

¨     It is widely used for sugarcane, orchards, vegetables, and plantation crops, particularly in water-scarce regions.

¨     Fertigation is the application of fertilisers through irrigation systems, especially drip or sprinkler irrigation, ensuring efficient nutrient delivery.

¨     Micro Irrigation Systems (MIS) include drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation.

¨     These systems help reduce water loss through evaporation, runoff, and deep percolation, improving water-use efficiency and crop productivity.

¨     Indian Potash Limited (IPL) is a leading Indian company engaged in the fertiliser and agri-input sector.

¨  Jain Irrigation Systems Limited (JISL) is a leading manufacturer of micro irrigation equipment and provider of agricultural technology solutions.
