Introduction
Irrigation plays a crucial role in ensuring sustainable farming practices by providing crops with the necessary water supply for optimal growth and yield. However, the effectiveness of irrigation techniques is highly dependent on the knowledge and skills of farmers in implementing these practices. Education on irrigation has been identified as a key factor in promoting sustainable farming practices and increasing agricultural productivity. This study aims to assess the impact of irrigation education on sustainable farming practices, with a focus on understanding how education can improve water management, crop production, and overall farm sustainability.
