FLAT DRIP IRRIGATION PIPES

The water required for plant growth is carried by a certain pipe system and given to the plant root area by drippers. The aim is to get more efficiency per unit area with a small amount of water. It is not wet the entire soil surface, but only a small area around the dripper. However, this situation causes some of our farmers to misunderstand that the plant cannot get enough water and causes our farmers to give water for a long time until the small areas wetted with drip irrigation cover each other. In fact, when a small area on the soil surface gets wet with drip irrigation, a larger area gets wet in the soil as the wetted area expands to the sides, and these areas overlap, and the plant roots get enough water. Water given more than necessary or flowing for hours is not a solution.

In regions with heavy rainfall and heavy winter rainfall, the fertilizers applied to the soil are washed and mixed with the ground water. Likewise, in irrigation with flood irrigation and bowl irrigation, the fertilizers washed by the infiltration of water into the lower layers mix with the ground water. If the soil has a heavy clay structure, drainage may also occur. The only way to do this is with drip irrigation.
