Advantages and Maintenance of Drip Trickle Irrigation Systems

Drip trickle irrigation system is a water-saving and efficient irrigation technology. By applying drip trickle irrigation technology, irrigation efficiency can be greatly improved, water waste reduced, and agricultural production efficiency increased. Now, let's learn about the advantages and the installation and maintenance of the drip trickle irrigation system.


Advantages of the Drip Trickle Irrigation System


High water use efficiency


Under drip trickle irrigation conditions, the irrigation water moistens part of the soil surface, effectively reducing the ineffective evaporation of soil moisture. Additionally, since drip trickle irrigation only moistens the soil near the crop roots, the moisture content of the soil in other areas remains low, thus preventing weed growth. Drip trickle irrigation systems do not produce surface runoff and easily control precise irrigation depth, saving a lot of water.


Low environmental humidity


After drip trickle irrigation, the soil root system has good permeability conditions. By injecting fertilizer into the water, it provides sufficient water and nutrients, keeping the soil moisture at a stable and low suction state suitable for crops. The ground evaporation in the irrigation area is also small, effectively controlling the humidity in the protected area, greatly reducing the frequency of occurrence of crops' diseases and pests, and reducing pesticide usage.


Improved crop product quality


Due to drip trickle irrigation timely and adequate water and fertilizer supply, it can improve and enhance the quality of agricultural products while increasing crop yields, significantly improving the commodity rate of agricultural products in protected areas and high economic efficiency.


A strong adaptability to terrain and soil


Because the drippers can work within a wide range of working pressures and have uniform flow output, drip trickle irrigation is suitable for terrains with undulations and various types of soil. At the same time, drip trickle irrigation reduces intermediate cultivation and weeding, without causing surface soil compaction.


Water and labor saving, increased yield and income


Since the water does not move in the air during irrigation, does not wet the leaves, and does not have the effective wetted area beyond the soil surface evaporation, the direct evaporation water loss is minimal. It is easy to control water amount without causing surface runoff and deep soil leakage. Therefore, the drip trickle irrigation system can save 35%-75% more water compared to sprinkler irrigation. This opens up a new avenue for irrigation in areas with limited and scarce water sources. With insufficient water supply between plants, weed growth is difficult, greatly reducing the interference of crops and weeds fighting for nutrients, and reducing labor for weeding. Since the crop root area can maintain the best water and fertilizer supply status, higher yields can be achieved.


Installation and Maintenance of Drip Trickle Irrigation


Compared to traditional sprinkler methods, the installation and maintenance of a drip trickle irrigation system are simpler. The main equipment of the drip trickle irrigation system includes drip pipes, drippers, water sources, filters, and other parts. When installing drip trickle irrigation technology, you need to choose appropriate equipment and installation plans based on actual conditions, while also considering water sources and filtration issues. When maintaining drip trickle irrigation technology, you need to regularly inspect components such as drip pipes and drippers, and promptly replace damaged parts to ensure the normal operation of the drip trickle irrigation system.
