DRIP IRRIGATION AND ITS BENEFITS

DRIP IRRIGATION AND ITS BENEFITS

Widely used in irrigated farming, the drip method is an important irrigation technique which, while conserving valuable resources -- water, land, labor, energy, and fertilizers -- promotes improved plant growth and productivity. Larger yields, better crops, and earlier production are important benefits to the grower whose livelihood depends on his irrigation system.

A drip system results in healthy, fast-growing plants, and is very efficient in its use of water. Little is lost to evaporation, and walkways and areas between plants remain dry. This also reduces weed growth, and makes cultivation possible during and immediately after an irrigation cycle. Drip irrigation allows a large area to be watered from a small water source, since it uses water more slowly than other methods. The biggest savings for the home gardener is time: you can now garden on a larger scale, and with an automatic timer, you can travel or deal successfully with a busy schedule while your garden or landscape flourishes.

1. Water savings, since only those areas directly around the plants root zone are irrigated.

2. Plants undergo less stress from variations in soil moisture, therefore plant appearance is enhanced.

3. Constant moisture improves plant growth.

4. Slow application rate prevents excess surface water build-up and reduces evaporation.

5. The low application rate and the use of automatic timers' results in precise water control.

6. Weed growth is reduced because areas between plants are not irrigated.

7. System can be designed for use in all types of terrain and soil conditions.

8. System's low flow rate allows irrigation of larger areas and more plants can be watered at once. Drip irrigation systems are usually installed at costs considerably less than those of an underground sprinkler, bubbler, or shrub spray system.

9. Through the use of fertilizer dispensers, chemicals and nutrients can be fed directly to the plant in controlled quantities.

The water application rate can be tailored to fit each individual plant. This is accomplished by the use of different quantities of emitters and emitters with different discharge rates.

Conversion to drip irrigation is easily accomplished since the hydraulic design of a sprinkler system is more than adequate.

10. The drip irrigation system is economical to use with native landscapes in dry weather conditions.

Drip Irrigation Pipe is known as trickle irrigation or micro-irrigation or localized irrigation by water slowly dripped into the roots of the plants to save water and fertilizer, either directly to the soil surface or in the root zone, through a network of irrigation valves, pipes, tubing and emitters. It is through a narrow tube was used directly in the base of the plant to complete the delivery of water.

Drip Irrigation Pipe application

Drip irrigation for vegetables, flowers, fruits, grapes and tree drip irrigation system is widely used.

Characteristics:

1. Long life. Under normal circumstances, drip irrigation for at least 50 years.

2. PE drip irrigation pipe is made of 100% pure PE material, non-toxic, non-heavy metal additives, no scaling, no bacteria.

3. The corrosion-resistant chemical media; no electrochemical corrosion.

4. PE irrigation pipe has good flexibility, high strength, impact resistance and distortion.

5. Light weight, easy to transport and install.

6. Unique Butt and socket connector technology enables more interfaces to ensure the safety and reliability of the interface.
