Advantages of drip irrigation equipment

The advantage of drip irrigation equipment is that it can effectively control the optimum soil moisture,. And make the soil air well ventilated, there is no significant reduction of soil air after irrigation. And you can mix fertiliser with marrow water. It is done in one step and saves fertiliser. In addition, compared with other irrigation methods. 20% ~ 50% water saving compared to furrow and border irrigation,. Water saving 12% ~ 30% compared to sprinkler irrigation. It also saves labour. Easy to mechanise. At the same time, the requirement for land levelling is low. Highlands and slopes can be irrigated evenly, avoiding the erosion of soil by excessive water flow during irrigation and preventing the growth of weeds. Drip irrigation is particularly suitable for arid and water-scarce areas. Its main disadvantages are:The cost of drip irrigation equipment is high. The investment is large, and the substances accumulated in the water are easy to clog the pipes and drip heads. At present, this irrigation method is mainly applied to fruit trees, vegetables, cotton and other cash crops. Drip irrigation has a broad development prospect in arid areas with insufficient water resources.

1. The use of drip irrigation equipment can increase production and improve product quality; relative to ground irrigation: give 20-30% of the fruit, a week ahead of the bear paw will be marketed, a year ahead of the fruit; cotton fibre length and macronutrient value increase, melon and fruit refractive sugar increased 1-2 times, vitamin content increased

2. Drip irrigation equipment can save water, energy saving, fertiliser saving, energy saving; water saving: surface irrigation cotton water saving 50%, vegetable drip irrigation water saving 50-70%, melon water saving 70%,. Than sprinkler irrigation water saving 15-20%; energy saving: drip irrigation water consumption rate is very high, reducing the pumping time, thus reducing energy consumption; fertiliser saving: compared with furrow irrigation, the average fertiliser saving 47.5%, under the membrane drip irrigation equipment average fertiliser saving 53.3%; labour saving: labour saving 50% or so (excluding flower picking)

3. Adaptable drip irrigation using materials plastic pipe water transfer. Light weight, simple structure, easy to arrange, can adapt to a variety of complex shapes; different drip head flow rate of drip irrigation to meet the irrigation needs of different soil conditions; drip irrigation is suitable for different complex terrain (barren mountain greening, railway greening, desert greening) of the slopes; drip irrigation adapted to saline and alkaline land, the use of drip irrigation for 1-2 years, saline and alkaline land will be improved into a good field suitable for crop growth;

1.4. Drip irrigation is easily automated. Drip irrigation marks the trend of traditional agriculture towards piped and pressurised water delivery, laying the foundation for automation. Automation can save labour, control irrigation more effectively, and achieve agricultural intensification, information technology and large-scale operation.

1.5, does not affect other agricultural activities due to drip irrigation, crop rows are kept dry, people and machinery can enter the field at any time to fork, vine, spray, harvest and other agricultural activities, improve field management efficiency
