Applying sufficient amount of water to the root zone of the crops is very important to get sustainable crop yields globally. When water applied through irrigation is in excess or deficient this may invite several fungal and bacterial diseases along with the pests and weeds which in turn reduces the crop quality and quantity. Soil moisture content and leaf wetness duration plays significant role in plant disease cycles, for an example some pathogens survive in soil in the form spores, they may disperse from one place to another place through irrigation water and infect the crops cultivated in that area. Thus we can say irrigation as a most important cultural practice in plant health management, especially in the context of less chemically dependent agriculture, paving the way for sustainable agriculture. Hence we can say irrigation has an important role to play in managing plant disease severity and dispersal of pests. Out of which drip irrigation system is of prime importance. In this review we will see how important is drip irrigation system in managing plant health, Importance, components, installation & maintenance of drip irrigation system to increase the life time of drip system.
