Today, 100% of our orchards are done through micro-irrigation. Micro-irrigation includes one emitter at the base of the tree, which is basically spoon feeding water to the tree itself.

dosificando
Estoy de acuerdo con los colegas que proponen que esta expresión no se puede traducir de un modo literal. To spoon feed es dar de comer en la boca, poco a poco, como se hace con un bebé. En este contexto, creo que dosificar encaja bien. Te copié otro enlace más arriba que te puede ser útil para tu traducción.
Principles of Micro Irrigation1
Dorota Z. Haman, Forrest T. Izuno2
The objective of this publication is to review the basic principles of micro irrigation, describe the major components of micro irrigation systems and discuss advantages and disadvantages of the irrigation method.
The terms "drip", "trickle" and "spray" irrigation, common in many quarters in the last 15 years, have been supplanted by the term "micro irrigation", recently adopted by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. Micro irrigation includes all methods of frequent water application, in small flow rates, on or below the soil surface. Ideally, the volume of water is applied directly to the root zone in quantities that approach the consumptive use of the plants. Through good management of the micro irrigation systems the root zone moisture content can be maintained near field capacity throughout the season providing a level of water and air balance close to optimum for plant growth. In addition, nutrient levels which are applied with water through the system can be controlled precisely.

dar (de beber) al árbol agua a cucharadas
Para mantener algo de la expresión original se podría dejar "a cucharadas" y cambiar "alimentar" por "dar de beber".
De esa forma, no se pierde totalmente la frase original.
