Introduction To Irrigation Systems Hillard OH

By Linda Ruiz


Localized irrigation offer some agronomic benefits, such as controlling weeds in the soil. Increased production and fruit quality, and that low soil moisture stress is maintained throughout the crop cycle. Fertilization can be included in irrigation systems water, increasing efficiency, location and dose of fertilizers. In the same way, there may be other agrochemicals mixed with the water. The system allows simultaneous watering and presents no obstacle to navigate the field. Prevents leaching of soil nutrients and disease control is greatly improved.

The mechanical sprinkler system mimics the effect of rainfall water supplied under pressure through hoses; water is propelled into the air as droplets, which fall on the plants. The technique can be broken down into micro spray, similar to the previous but more localized and therefore more efficient.

On the other hand, ancient ways of watering channels is falling into disuse in the developed world; governments are encouraging people to switch to other methods. Young orange trees may necessitate the combination of traditional irrigation with drip system, in order to optimize the benefits in terms of plant growth.

Sprinkler or drip equipment connected to computerized systems can regulate amount, humidity and fertilization used. The drip system is very suitable for places where water is scarce. To implement an efficient irrigation system, users should carefully consider the water-plant-soil matrix. There is also the exudative textile system, which was created in the '80s by the French winemaker Rene Petit, who concluded that the existing systems had severe limitations and drawbacks due to its design and they were restricted by the material used in manufacture.

A modern way to water is the use of drip and micro that involve the application of water in a restricted area. These methods are suitable for areas where water is scarce, since the application is done in small doses and frequently. This allows better control of water and some other agronomic benefits.

Plant watering projects on a large scale using groundwater are a recent phenomenon. They are found mainly in large alluvial basins of Pakistan, India and China, where tube wells are used to exploit the phreatic water, along with irrigation mechanisms that use surface water.

Irrigation water is obtained from rivers, lakes or continuous streams of natural water wells (which get their water from underground aquifers) or wastewater treatment stations. This is in addition to desalination of sea water and to a lesser extent of salt lakes, which have the risk of salinizing land.

This is in addition to creating a more humid micro-climate. The expansion and intensification of agriculture which provides irrigation can cause increased erosion; contaminate surface and groundwater with agricultural biocides; reduce water quality. Increases levels of nutrients in water producing algal blooms, proliferation of aquatic weeds and eutrophication of irrigation canals and waterways downstream. Thus, greater amounts of agricultural chemicals are required to control the increasing number of pests and crop diseases.
