added when precipitation does not match crop needs; plant nutrients may be applied efficiently in
irrigation water; pesticides can be applied in irrigation water; irrigation water can reduce frost damage;
irrigation equipment can be used to distribute liquid manure; and irrigation may be used to cool crops
on hot days.
