Be a Digital farmer using Drip irrigation system on your Farm.

Drip irrigation is the most efficient means of watering everything in your farm. A drip system delivers water directly to the plant’s root zone. Drip irrigation converts a high-pressure stream to a slow emission of droplets that can be placed exactly where water is needed. Water savings result due to the precision of drip irrigation. Unlike sprays and sprinklers, there is no evaporation loss, and the amount of water each plant receives can be tailored to suit its needs. As shrubs and weeds mature and grow, they often block the distribution pattern of sprinklers and prevent water from reaching the intended spots. With drip irrigation, water is delivered to the base of each plant, avoiding interference from leaves, branches and objects. It provides a simple way to convert spray systems to drip eliminating runoff and over spray. The unneeded sprays can be sealed off with a simple-to-install universal cap off device. The virtues of drip extend beyond its water-efficiency. It is by far the best method of deep watering. If a plant grows on a slope, drip will maximize the amount of water available to its roots because the slow delivery of water won’t run off the surface before having a chance to penetrate the soil. Moreover, sprinklers wet foliage, trunks, and flower petals, which can shorten the life and degrade the appearance of certain plants. Drip irrigation is also the preferred method of watering vegetable. The original aim for the use of drip irrigation in agriculture was not water savings but rather the greatly increased plant growth that it encourages. Drip decreases soil compaction, keeps soil moisture close to ideal levels and reduces weed growth between rows. Go Digital today with Dripsol to get your customized drip irrigation kit for your farm.

Watering Made Easy with Dripsol Drip Irrigation System.

 
Using a drip irrigation system, you are able to water several times per week using less water and maintaining the health of your plants.  Letting the top few inches of soil dry out between watering will allow the roots and soil organisms to breathe properly and, when combined with a 3 or 4-inch layer of organic mulch, plants will use almost all of the water that you provide with little evaporation loss, especially in areas with high temperatures or wind. When using a drip irrigation system, you can also add a drip line to it that will allow water to enter the soil at predetermined spots getting more water to the plants’ roots where it’s needed most.

When prioritizing your watering schedule during drought conditions, remember to water newly planted ones first and then others based on how they can handle the stress of a drought. Start with new plants, then older, today’s drip irrigation systems work in a wide variety of conditions, but during a drought is where they really shine. Being able to water your plants and keep them healthy using very little water is a farmer’s dream come true and only a drip irrigation system can make that happen. Drip irrigation systems are highly effective, very efficient and can save you a lot of money per year in water costs. With drip irrigation and with your help, drought conditions don't have to result in the devastation of your plants.

Because they clog up your drip irrigation tubes and emitters, making them ineffective. To avoid this clogging problem, a water filter of some type is recommended, filters come in two configurations: mesh and sediment filters.

Mesh filters are made from small layers of well mesh. The size of the mesh openings determines what size particles will be stopped and what size will pass through.

Most drip irrigation kits generally include a mesh-type filter.

The other type of filter, the sediment filter, is most often used in whole house water filtration. Sediment filters consist of a cartridge and housing, and the cartridge does all the filtering.  Remember : You will need to change your cartridge (or clean your mesh filter) periodically.
