Why is the Drip Irrigation Fertilizer System More Water-saving Than the Traditional Irrigation?

Agricultural planting cannot be separated from timely and effective irrigation. With the development of planting industry, the drip irrigation fertilizer system has been applied in many areas, and traditional irrigation methods are gradually being phased out. So what is the specific difference between the drip irrigation fertilizer system and traditional irrigation? Let's give you a detailed introduction!

1. The disadvantages of the traditional irrigation system

First, we talk about traditional irrigation. Traditional irrigation is generally conducted by experience, and it is a fixed irrigation method. For example, if a farmer feels there is a water shortage in soil, then he will take the water pipe and irrigate the cropland, and close irrigation equipment after he feels it is enough. In fact, this irrigation method is not reasonable because he doesn't know whether the irrigation is needed and when it is time to close the irrigation equipment! It is easy to waste water resource.

2. The advantages of the drip irrigation fertilizer system

The irrigation control of drip irrigation fertilizer system is determined according to the sensor. The soil moisture sensor can real time-monitor the data of water and fertilizer in soil. When the water content in the soil is lower than the standard values, system can automatically open the irrigation system for crop irrigation. And when the water content it monitors in soil has been up to the standard, system can automatically closed the irrigation system. Thanks to the real-time data monitoring and control, irrigation can be conducted in a more reasonable way so as to save irrigation water to the utmost extent under the premise of guaranteeing soil moisture.

With the above introduction, your side must have a knowledge of the difference between traditional irrigation and drip irrigation fertilizer system. The drip irrigation fertilizer integration system can achieve the fertigation control based on the same principle. The soil nitrogen phosphorus and potassium sensor can real-time monitor the nutrients information in the soil. When the monitored nutrient content in the soil is less than standard value, system can automatically apply fertilizer to the soil, and when the nutrient content reaches the standard values, the system will automatically shut down the fertilization system.

In fact, the difference between the drip irrigation fertilizer system and traditional irrigation is that drip irrigation fertilizer system is supported by real-time data. By relying on data, irrigation and fertigation in planting are more reasonable, so as to achieve the purpose of saving water and fertilizer!
