In gun irrigation systems, water is given over the main line using water guns.The water coming from the top of the plant prevents the water from reaching the root in dense planting or multi-leaved plants.In addition, the uneven distribution of water due to windy weather causes some areas to remain dry.The large water lines and the loss of efficiency in close proximity of the irrigation areas of the guns also cause late maturation of the plants near the guns.In addition, since each gun will need to be adjusted separately, time and labor are lost.The drip system of drip irrigation and the ergonomic line structure, together with the use of water, ensure that all plants receive sufficient water and save water by 40%-50%.Controlling the drip irrigation systems on the main line also ensures that the plants are given water according to their water needs, providing an efficiency of up to 60% compared to other methods.
In drip irrigation, the tank should be at a certain height from the ground.Since the flow of water will be provided without a pump or transfer system, in case of a large irrigation system, the flow rate will slow down and the problem of not reaching the extreme points will arise.For this, it is important that the warehouse is high.By determining the water amount of the plants, the plants that need the same amount of water should be planted or planted on the same line.Because if the plants that receive a lot of water and those that receive less water are planted on the same line, if the water needs of the plants are different from each other, one of the plants will receive more water or the other will receive less water.In this case, there will be a loss of efficiency.The thickness of the main line pipe to be used in the irrigation system should be chosen in the most appropriate way to the number of the plant to be irrigated.The use of narrow diameter pipes in the irrigation of many plants will cause insufficient water transfer and reduce the yield of the plants.If the valves and pipes in the irrigation lines are not checked periodically, a blockage will occur in the pipes.This will cause problems in water transfer.
