Key Features Defining Dripper Success in Irrigation Systems  

When technical dripper data is shared, we are confronted by terms that describe certain engineering features, namely K (A); X (B); KD; K (Turbulence coefficient), and Filtration area. These features determine how well a dripper does its job. Understanding them enables us to compare how different drippers do the same job.

Dripline selection is about making the right choice after considering the main aspects. These include crop spacing, crop type, land topography, crop duration, and soil type. Also, it is advisable to opt for quality products to get the most from your investment. Whether you have to choose between a thin wall drip system, a heavy wall drip system, a modern dripper, or a basic dripper, make sure to go with quality products. The market offers a wide array of options, each with its unique attributes and applications.

“Every drop of water is a breath of life for the earth”. In modern agriculture, the  efficiency of irrigation practices is a necessity more than convenience.

Flood irrigation, an ancient technique, relies on spreading water across fields, utilising gravity to distribute it evenly. This simple method has been the backbone of agricultural practices in numerous cultures. It remains relevant in areas where water is abundant and fields are conducive to this type of irrigation.

In India, farming has come a long way. Across many regions in the country, it has royally evolved from completely weather-dependent to irrigation- and digitally-driven. Of course, we have got miles to go. But we cannot afford to miss discussing transformations happening in due course and their benefits. Let us do that.

Automation is the need of the hour, regardless of the application in which it is used. Agriculture or irrigation hasn’t remained an exception to it. In an age where the world struggles with concerns like water scarcity, depleting natural resources, and increasing food demands, automation proves a solution that augments irrigation efficiency and helps reap numerous benefits. Value automation is one such revolutionary technology. Let’s look at some benefits of value automation for drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.

Agricultural irrigation is a vital aspect of farming that contributes to the production of crops and food around the world. In recent years, the focus has been on developing efficient and sustainable irrigation systems that save water and are easy to manage. One of the innovations that have come about is the development of lightweight agricultural irrigation pipe, and one of the most popular is the Netafim FlexNet Pipe, a Flexible Pipe.

Drip Irrigation is a production tool which delivers water, plants nutrients and chemicals:

• In the right place
• In correct amount
• At the right time
• Frequently
• With highest efficiency & uniformity

To set up a sprinkler irrigation system efficiently, you need meticulous planning and the right resources.You must get everything right, from spacing to the mainline and sub-mainline pipes you choose.

Here, FlexNet, innovative leak-free mainline and sub-mainline pipes, are an intelligent choice. They help farmers optimize irrigation efficiency and save significant costs otherwise involved in transporting, installing, and maintaining them. Here’s more to why farmers must opt for FlexNet in their sprinkler irrigation ecosystem.

What is Subsurface Irrigation?

Subsurface irrigation is a method of delivering water directly to the root zone of crops by placing a dripline below the soil surface. This technique is becoming increasingly popular due to its high efficiency in water and nutrient management, which ultimately leads to improved crop yields and quality. In this blog, we will discuss subsurface irrigation in sugarcane crops from the perspective of Netafim India, a leading company in smart drip and micro-irrigation solutions.

The Science of Sprinkler Irrigation: Understanding Water Distribution and Coverage

Do you want to install a sprinkler irrigation system for your farm? Before you do that, it would help to understand the water distribution and coverage factors associated with it.

Complete Guide on Drip Irrigation System

Reducing and uncertain rainfall, water scarcity, and increasing food demand are concerns with which Indian farmers remain perpetually confronted. Amid the situation, farmers need an irrigation system, which, while helping them save water, ensures a precise supply of water and nutrients to the crop root zone. Drip irrigation serves the purpose.
