UP Farmer Boosts Income with YouTube-Learned Drip Irrigation in Farrukhabad

• Farrukhabad farmer Harshit Katiyar adopted drip irrigation after learning from YouTube, transforming his farming.
• Traditional flat irrigation caused excessive water, plant diseases, higher costs, and lower market prices for crops.
• Drip irrigation delivers water drop-by-drop to roots, reducing evaporation, saving up to 95% water, and controlling diseases.
• This method enhances soil fertility, increases productivity, controls weeds, and is effective in saline, hilly, and sandy soils.
• Farmers can get government subsidies through the District Horticulture Center for adopting modern farming techniques.
