Question

1. Drip irrigation is a good method of irrigation.
2. It facilitates fertigation.

Options

• (B) contradicts (А).

• (B) is the reason for (A).

• (A) is true but (B) is false.

• (A) and (B) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(B) is the reason for (A).

Explanation:

Statement (B) acts as the primary technological explanation why drip irrigation is regarded as a great and superior technology. Drip irrigation systems allow fertigation, the technique of dissolving water-soluble fertilisers directly into irrigation water. Because the method feeds water drop by drop directly to the root zone, plants absorb nutrients more efficiently, reducing fertiliser waste, saving labour, and dramatically increasing agricultural yields.
