Advantages and Disadvantages of Drip Irrigation
What are the advantages of drip irrigation?
Drip irrigation, irrigated yields with less water, more space. Sloping areas, irrigation can be done without causing erosion.
Water does not take all the land:
• Weeds in the medicated and the mechanical cost of fighting is reduced (including plants and trees are not out to grass).
• After each irrigation, soil and air to break the cream of events for the functioning of land for labor and fuel consumption is reduced by almost disappeared.
Other irrigation systems, fertilizer is given at once, for a maximum of 3-4 in a season, too much fertilizer mixed into the soil each time. Many of the absorption of fertilizers by plants are washed with water deeper in between some of them are taken by the weeds. In addition, where land is often of high pH for the soil colloids retained by some of the fertilizers, and can not easily be used by plants. In drip irrigation, irrigation for each irrigation or two for a given fertilizer is fertilizerin dribs and drabs. All the fields where fertilizers are not given for the root zone of plants are given less fertilizer. Used phosphoric, nitric and sulfuric acid, fertilizers, such as by lowering the soil pH is usually in the lands, but that cannot be due to PH, Iron, Copper, Zinc etc. such as micro nutrients intake provided that the doping effect on the development of plants makes them. Frequently, and little by little, the water in the soil for our WATER - AIR -FERTILIZER easily adjusts the balance. The status of the soil water holding capacity of the field more water, less water, fertilizer plants, such as we protect stresses. All land plants, all plants of equal size for uniform water and fertilizer will give. Regular watering and fertilizing because of the product lies in earlier. Then we can harvest earlier. In addition to the standard of irrigation systems, fertilizers used, Mono Ammonium Phosphate (MAP), Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP), potassium nitrate, 33% Ammonium Nitrate, Phosphoric acid, nitric acid, etc. using the fruit and vegetables to drought, extreme heat as a result of breakdown of the flower and reducing the fruit falls, the yield increase. Potassium fertilizer into the period of harvest of the fruit quality using the siren, stiffness, increasing the sugar content, fruit and vegetables are highly attractive to obtain a sample that can be done even though the sales or the market at a higher price. Today, the increasing amount of excess fertilizer, fuel, labor costs we can do against someone, we received per unit area by increasing the export-quality product in a sample product from 20-50% and increase profitability. Always stand by our farmers with drip irrigation technology in this regard.
What are the disadvantages of drip irrigation?
The most important disadvantage is the high cost of system installation. But according to the product, the system pays for itself within 1-3 years. The second disadvantage is that poor quality water, poor quality and poor quality of the filters over time using the old technology of drip irrigation emitters clogging pipes risk. Our company's advice before enrolling in the drip irrigation water analysis, water pH, EC, lime rates should be listed. Drip irrigation is a serious company that should be decided jointly analyzes the results shown. Our water quality is suitable; the second important issue is to purchase a filtration system, and fertilization.
