Hello Sir,

Please let me know the spacing?? As per your message i understand that you dont have a regular spacing, if this is right then drip irrigation will be difficult to install.

Hello sir
Yes drip irrigation is the solution but it seems ur plants are scattered so this will be the problem. actually to minimize the betelvine wilt, drip irrigation system should be implemented.
Since betelvine requires high soil moisture, frequent light irrigation is necessary depending upon the season. Irrigation should be need-based and proper drainage is essential during rainy season.

Where betel vine is cultivated as mixed crop drainage and irrigation drip channels are made between every two, three or four rows of arecanut depending of soil type.
