At the National Agricultural Research Laboratories (NARL) in Nairobi, KARI has set up a simple orchard system that irrigates 500 banana and 60 passion fruit plants. The system facilitates watering of plants at a rate equivalent to their consumptive water use.
Research continues at NARL on small-scale orchard drip irrigation, and demonstrations and advice are available on request to NARL.
