Drip Irrigation Techniques
The advancement of science and technology has been of a great help to the farmers today. This is because the farmer does not have to rely on the ever changing weather and climate conditions. As a result of the global warming the climate is becoming extreme hindering farming. Thus the farmer has to come up with new tectonic to use the available resources and to maximize production.
Drip irrigation is a method where water is supplied to the roots of the plant directly. To implement this in a whole farm one needs to use pipes, tubes, valves, tubing and the emitters. The trick here is to use as little water as possible. This method of farming is very effective in dry and semi dry areas.
You can also mix fertilizers with the water to maximize the input. This system if properly implemented it works better and provides better results than the flood irrigation or the over head irrigation. It also conserves a lot of water.
In drip irrigation, the main problem is clogging in pipes and drainage facilities. Proper drainage and filtering should be maintained for the system to be overall effective. The advantage is there is no deep percolation or evaporation thus maximum use of the water available.
This system is very effective as you are assured of a maximum use of the resources available. If well implemented the results are amazing. The initial layering out is a bit complex but once the system is layered down and working right, its easy to maintain.
