A method of irrigation that uses electrical current to help water penetrate soil more effectively or to control water flow to crops.
Compound of 'electro-' and 'irrigation' (Latin 'irrigare' meaning to water). This specialized agricultural term emerged in the 20th century as electrical technology expanded into farming.
Electroirrigation can actually increase how much water plants absorb and reduce salt buildup in soil—it's like giving water a tiny electrical push to help it do its job better in drought-prone regions.
