Drip irrigation
system is one of the micro-irrigation methods that saves water and allows it to
flow efficiently to the right place in the right quantity. Of course, it seems
that the system is very slow, but in reality it is not. Water drips directly
into the root zone, reducing the percentage of evaporation.
The main advantages
of drip irrigation compared to other methods are: Maximum soil aeration. The
device allows the soil to retain as much moisture as the plant needs. Thus, the
roots breathe freely throughout the entire growing season;
Active root growth.
This method allows for faster plant root growth compared to other irrigation
methods.
Plant protection. During the
period of drip irrigation, the leaf part of the plant will not get wet. This
helps reduce the likelihood of diseases and carry out treatment against
diseases and pests without washing off the leaves;
Minimum labor
costs. The system is completely autonomous and allows the owner to avoid daily
manual watering;
Save. Drip
irrigation can save 60-70% of water by reducing waste. Water is supplied only
to those places where it is needed.
