Drip Irrigation Maintenance

 



Before beginning of the irrigation season, the system is to be prepared for the new season. Many temporary repairs made last year will probably need attention. Drip irrigation maintenance is important to grow high quality of crops.
Following things are necessary for preseason tune up.

  • The pump should be tested for its performance
  • Check the filters for their operations.
  • Check the system for leaks.
  • Control working pressure at the end point.
  • Control system flow (flow meter).
  • Control pressure differential over the filters.
  • Flush fertilizer system with water.

Proper selection of system, designing, installation, operation & maintenance results in high returns, longer Life, total satisfaction. Grow high quality crops using drip irrigation with Netafim.

How precision irrigation helps sugarcane cultivation?

Sugarcane is one of the extensively cultivated crops in India. Sugarcane farmers are always in the pursuit of higher crop yields, increased profitability, higher sucrose content, and an extended ratoon life, and reduced operational costs. Drip irrigation works as a solution here, which is why sugarcane farmers have been upgrading their farms to drip irrigation. Sugarcane cultivation yield has a strong reaction towards temperature, solar radiation and soil conditions. However, in an open farm field, temperature and radiation are beyond human control. Here, drip irrigation plays an instrumental role as it controls every drop of water and nutrient going to the crop, and that too at the right time, to result in a higher amount and quality of yield, along with higher sucrose content and extended plant life. Netafim’s Subsurface Drip Irrigation helps grow sugarcane yield through the supply of nutrients and water directly to the crop root, and in the required quantities and when required. S...

The Future of Farming: Smart Community Irrigation Solutions

  The world has been living in the ignorant belief for centuries that “We’ll always have enough water for ourselves” Water is essential for life.  However, the unthinkable has unfortunately happened, and right now 43 countries, which comprise about 700 million people across the globe, are facing worrying levels of water crisis. The United Nations further estimates that as early as 2025, two-thirds of the population of the world will be suffering in water-stressed regions. Another issue that’s hitting the world at an alarming rate is the world population growth. Increasing population is directly proportional to surging food demand, traditional agricultural itself consumes nearly 70% of the water available globally. Studies show that 2050 will witness a 50% increase in the demand of water for agriculture. The global water scene looks quite appalling. Are the depleting natural resources the only problem? No, not really. While resources are indeed a limitation, it’s usage patterns also...

Digital Farming – A Smarter Way of Irrigation

Image
  Probably a decade or two ago, digital farming in India might have seemed a tall tale to everyone. But the seemingly impossible dream of a farmer operating their irrigation systems from home has now been made possible via digital farming.  The Indian agricultural landscape has been a slow adopter of these technological changes. Of course, you cannot blame the farmers’ attitude alone. Commercial viability has been a challenge throughout for most. But things are gradually changing. With digital farming, many Indian farmers have adopted smarter irrigation. Let’s see how digital farming proves to be a more intelligent way of irrigation. What is Digital Farming? Digital agriculture involves using advanced digital technologies integrated into a unified system to enable farmers to help improve food production.  For instance, in India, many farmers decide the amount of fertilizer to be used based on rough measurements, experience, or instincts. They don’t realize the profits or ...
