Advantages of Drip Irrigation in Fruits and Vegetables

Vegetable tissues are crisp and tender, the root system is developed, the water content of the plant is high, and the water demand is generally high. In the dry season of summer and autumn, it must be irrigated in time to keep the soil moist, and sufficient water needs to be replenished to meet the growth and development requirements of vegetables. However, the rainy season is easy to cause diseases, especially for melons. It is necessary to ensure smooth drainage and irrigation, and no water accumulates in the ditch in the rainy season.

Compared with drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation has higher humidity, which is not very suitable for the healthy growth of vegetables. It may induce some common rot complications of plants. Vegetables are very susceptible to infectious diseases when the humidity is relatively high.

Drip irrigation is easy to use, can accurately and moderately add water to vegetables, and can also fertilize with water, so that it can be irrigated and fertilized at any time to achieve a stable and balanced supply of water and fertilizer. Drip irrigation enables stable growth and development of crops, reduces field humidity, reduces the risk of disease occurrence, reduces the use of pesticides, reduces pesticide residues, and improves vegetable quality.

In terms of drip irrigation solutions, the advantages of drip irrigation are also reflected in three aspects: labor saving, water saving and fertilizer saving.

Labor saving: The drip irrigation system only opens the valve through manual or automatic control, and combines fertilization, which greatly saves labor input and reduces planting costs.

Water saving: Drip irrigation is full pipeline water delivery, low pressure system, local humidification, and water leakage and loss are minimized.

Fertilizer saving: Drip irrigation can be easily combined with fertilization, and the fertilizer can be directly and evenly applied to the root system of the crops, which greatly improves the utilization rate of fertilizers.

In order to achieve the best effect of the drip irrigation technology, the quality of the dripper, the configuration of the drip irrigation system, the use method of the drip irrigation and the maintenance of the drip irrigation system need to be taken into consideration, which will affect the use effect and service life of the drip irrigation. Therefore, a complete set of drip irrigation system requires excellent quality and good manufacturers.
