Fogger irrigation technology is a new type of water-saving irrigation method. It uses special atomizing nozzles to spray water in a mist form for irrigation.
Fogger irrigation technology is used for irrigating crops. It features a high degree of water atomization, which can increase humidity between plants, improve the microclimate in the fields, and has other characteristics. The mist-like droplets are directly supplied to the leaves and slowly reach the ground, which both increases the soil moisture and does not damage the soil structure. It also provides cooling and humidifying effects, and the water-saving benefits are very significant.
Fogger irrigation transports pressurized water from the source to the field through a pressurized pipeline network, then uses specially designed atomizing nozzles to spray the water in a mist form. The droplets in fogger irrigation are less than 0.5mm in diameter, enveloping the crops in a mist. Particularly during droughts, high temperatures, and low humidity conditions, fogger irrigation can increase the humidity between plants by more than 20%, lower the temperature by 3-5°C, and increase the relative water content in leaves by 10-15%. This helps to alleviate or eliminate the midday depression of photosynthesis in crops caused by high temperatures and low humidity, promoting normal crop growth.
Since the mist droplets are very small and non-impactful, they do not damage the tender leaves or buds of crops, nor do they cause soil compaction. The developed highly atomized plastic micro-sprinklers and their accessories are characterized by a simple structure, small size, easy installation, stable performance, low cost, and ease of use.
It is applicable to citrus, apples, tea, edible fungi, vegetables, flowers, nurseries, and tropical economic crops such as peppers. It is highly adaptable to different types of terrains, soils, and water sources. It can be used in plains, hills, and places unsuitable for other irrigation methods. Generally speaking, it is suitable for all types of soils, especially permeable sandy and gravelly soils, where the use of fogger irrigation technology can prevent the leakage and loss of water and nutrients. The requirement for the water source is that the water quality is clean, making it suitable for utilizing mountain springs, streams, and other dispersed water sources that are inconvenient for other irrigation methods. The fogger irrigation system can be large or small, ranging from a system covering thousands of acres to a few fruit trees, mushrooms, or flower pots managed in a home garden.
In summary, fogger irrigation technology, with its advantages of water-saving, energy-saving, yield-increasing, improving field microclimate, and broad applicability, is playing an increasingly important role in modern agriculture. It has broad application prospects, especially in arid areas and regions with tight water resources.
