A comment on Scientists cook up new recipes for taking salt out of seawater. Parent comment
t-tape for instance is widely used commercially for irrigation of high value horticultural crops like strawberries, tomatoes, peppers etc.
also drip systems (with individual emitters, not t-tape) are used commercially in many tree crops (citrus etc).

However for agronomic crops (like corn, wheat, soybeans, alfalfa etc), which occur in mass plantings I'm not aware of any drip applications. Certainly at minimum if drip is used for these crops, it is extremely rare and probably not practical.
