Tomato plants growing using micro irrigation

---

Tomatoes receiving underground micro irrigation using a plastic tube buried below the ground that has holes to sweep water to roots of plants. Micro irrigation is an irrigation method that directly delivers water to the root zone of plants. It increases crop yields and reduces the use of water and fertilizers. Micro irrigation is an example of a regenerative farming practice. Regenerative agriculture are farming practices that improve health of the soil and water as well as increase biodiversity.
