Drip Irrigation dripper heads are generally made of low-pressure polyethylene. The pressurized water flow inside the capillary tube passes through the narrow channels in the dripper heads, dissipating energy, and allowing a constant and uniform amount of water to drip evenly into the soil. Under the influence of gravity and the capillary action of the soil, the water gradually moistens the soil. Dripper heads are widely used in orchards, greenhouses, gardens, landscaping, and other irrigation fields. The quality of the dripper heads directly affect the proper functioning of the drip irrigation system and the irrigation results. This article primarily introduces the features of dripper heads and pressure-compensating dripper heads in agricultural irrigation and how to select high-quality dripper heads.
Designed with unique wide flow channels or turbulent flow channels, offering strong anti-clogging capabilities.
Detachable design for easy inspection and cleaning.
The installation spacing of the dripper heads can be adjusted freely based on crop spacing.
Dripper heads can be connected to 5 or 7mm irrigation PVC soft tubes or can be directly installed by punching holes in irrigation PE pipes.
Pressure-compensating dripper heads can adjust the flow rate automatically through water pressure, making the output uniform by changing the cross-section of the outlet with an elastic silicone diaphragm.
Strong pressure-compensation performance makes automated irrigation control an optimal choice. Especially suitable for uneven terrains, unbalanced system pressures, and situations requiring additional capillary tubes.
On slopes, varying positions of dripper heads on the same capillary tube can easily lead to inconsistent flow rates. Therefore, when capillary tubes are placed on slopes with scattered dripper distribution, pressure-compensating dripper heads should be selected.
The type of crops can determine whether to use inline drip tubes or dripper heads. For short, dense crops, fixed-spacing inline drip tapes can be used. For irregularly spaced crops like fruit trees, pressure-compensating dripper heads on the pipes can be selected, with dripper spacing matching the plant spacing.
The soil's characteristics determine the flow rate of pressure-compensating dripper heads. In highly sandy soils, water infiltrates quickly vertically, resulting in a small wetting radius, which necessitates dripper heads with a higher flow rate.
Combining fertilization with irrigation saves labor, water, and fertilizer.
Drip irrigation is acclaimed as "one of the most water-saving irrigation technologies". Drip irrigation systems irrigate only the root zone of crops, preventing surface runoff, and by injecting fertilizers into the water, they maximize fertilizer efficiency and utilization.
Reducing the incidence of diseases
Drip irrigation provides small amounts of water, minimizing water evaporation into the air. This helps control humidity inside greenhouses, reducing the likelihood of diseases and improving crop yields and quality.
Suitable for various terrains
Drip irrigation boasts strong adaptability, suitable for various terrains and soils, and dripper heads irrigation reduces weed growth, soil compaction, and the need for intertillage and weeding.
