    with 38 years involved in operational irrigation systems, flood irrigation method is extremely wasteful. drip irrigation using underground ribbon tape will significantly reduce water waste.

      Agreed…. but Super Napier will require more water to get good yields. Also harvesting has to be done every 2 months upto ground level. Hence drip irrigation will be time consuming (removal of drip line and relaying after harvesting) and expensive
