Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a sub-surface irrigation system configured to operate in a plant-responsive mode, and further configured to make certain adaptations in response to plant stress. Stress adaptations may include, for example, selectively increasing source pressure of irrigation fluid, heating or chilling the irrigation fluid, and/or injecting fertilizer and/or non-fertilizer amendments into the irrigation fluid.
