DRIP IRRIGATION - AN EFFICIENT METHOD FOR WATERING AND PLANT CARE
Drip irrigation is an irrigation method that allows plants to be watered with small amounts of water that is passed under pressure through pipes and drippers. This method avoids problems related to insufficient moisture in the root zone.
Drip irrigation has a number of advantages:
- In areas where water resources are scarce or at a high cost, it allows a specific area to be irrigated, rather than the entire area.
- Since the irrigated area is under the shade of the plant itself, evaporation is minimal and this further reduces the amount of water used.
- Since the necessary moisture level is maintained in the root zone, the plant receives the necessary amount of water from the soil without spending much energy. This is an important factor that has a beneficial effect on effective growth.
- The drip irrigation system can also provide fertilizers for plants when necessary, and the amount of fertilizers used is also minimized.
- The soil between the rows of plants remains dry, thus preventing the growth of weeds.
- The surface remains dry, so tillage and harvesting are done with minimal effort.
- The leaves remain dry, thus reducing the risk of plant diseases.
- Moisture covers the area around the root and this contributes to maintaining "breathable" soil.
- The output of each nozzle can be controlled with high efficiency, with the automated system contributing to higher efficiency of water consumption and lower labor costs.
In general, drip irrigation systems can be very effective in the following cases:
- Areas with limited water resources
- For plants that are sensitive to soil moisture
- On fruit and vegetable farms
- When growing ornamental plants
WHY IS DRIP IRRIGATION INCREASINGLY A PREFERRED IRRIGATION METHOD?
By installing an automatic drip irrigation system that best suits your needs, you will save time and money. When watering your plants manually, more than 50% of water resources are lost due to runoff and evaporation. An automatic irrigation system can be set to work at night, when evaporation rates are extremely low. If you install an irrigation system, you will benefit not only yourself, but also the environment.
An automatic irrigation system will save you a lot of time that you used to spend watering your lawns, gardens and flowers. All you need to do now is set the timer on your irrigation system and it will automatically water your plants at the time you specify. In the meantime, you can do other things.
With the drip system, you won't waste your money and you won't waste valuable water resources, as everything happens on a schedule, and these systems also have rain sensors, so every drop of water is used only when needed. This also saves water resources.
It has been proven that when plants, crops, lawns and flowers are watered with less water over a longer period of time, they grow significantly faster. This way, you will enjoy greener and much better looking plants and lawns.
