LESSON 5.30 VEHGETABLES - DRIP IRRIGATOION FOR BETTER PRODUCTION

“Uniformity is the biggest thing. With the overhead system we had whole sections that were waterlogged, but with the Drip Irrigation we’ve overcome that problem”-  Dieter Fisher , Sweet potato farmer Australia

 

Drip Irrigation for Better Open Field Vegetable Production.

Open field vegetables are a wide term, and every vegetable has unique requirements. In this lesson, we use the term to define a group of crops that have similar requirements, specifically being that they are grown on a bed irrigated with 1–2 drip lines.

Typical crops include:

Peppers, Brassicas, Strawberries, Beans, Melons, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Eggplants,   Onions, Lettuces.

The following results can be achieved with drip irrigation:

·         Crop uniformity - Consistent water delivery throughout the entire field.

·         Crop quality - Does not cause water damage to foliage and vegetables.

·         Fertilizer savings - Fertilizer is injected directly into the system.

·         Water savings - Irrigate directly to the root zone.

·         Light and flexible - Easily change crops and fields each season.

Don’t irrigate the interrow – interrow make up 60% of the field, should reduced to 40 %. Sprinklers irrigate the interrow which encourage weed growth. Not impacted by wind - Irrigate even in high wind conditions while maintaining irrigation and crop unif0rmity.

KILIMO BORA Kimefaulu kwa KILIMO-UCHUMI

SOMO LA 5.30 MBOGA - UMWAGILIAJI WA MAtone KWA UZALISHAJI BORA

Umwagiliaji kwa njia ya matone kwa ajili ya Uzalishaji Bora wa Mboga kwenye shamba la wazi.

Lakini muhimu zaidi ni UMWAGILIAJI WA SUBSURFACE DIP IRRIGATION ili kuokoa 50% ya maji, mbolea na nishati. Mbona inachukua muda sana Wakulima wa Kenya kuelewa hili.. Sahau mifumo ya bei nafuu ya Kichina.. malipo ya kila siku ndiyo yanauma vallet yako.

Mboga ya shamba wazi ni neno pana, na kila mboga ina mahitaji ya kipekee. Katika somo hili, tunatumia neno hili kufafanua kundi la mazao ambayo yana mahitaji sawa, hasa kuwa yanapandwa kwenye kitanda kilichomwagilia kwa njia 1-2 za njia ya matone.

Mazao ya kawaida ni pamoja na:

Pilipili, Brassicas, Jordgubbar, Maharage, Matikiti, Viazi vitamu, Karoti, Biringanya, Vitunguu, Lettusi.

Matokeo yafuatayo yanaweza kupatikana kwa umwagiliaji wa matone:

• Usawa wa mazao - Utoaji wa maji thabiti katika shamba zima.

• Ubora wa mazao - Haileti uharibifu wa maji kwa majani na mboga.

• Akiba ya mbolea - Mbolea inadungwa moja kwa moja kwenye mfumo.

• Akiba ya maji - Mwagilia moja kwa moja kwenye eneo la mizizi.

• Nyepesi na inayonyumbulika - Badilisha mazao na mashamba kwa urahisi kila msimu.

Usimwagilia mifereji - makutano hufanya 60% ya shamba, inapaswa kupunguzwa hadi 40%. Vinyunyiziaji humwagilia kwenye makutano ambayo huchochea ukuaji wa magugu. Haiathiriwi na upepo - Mwagilia maji hata katika hali ya upepo mkali huku ukidumisha umwagiliaji na ulinganifu wa mazao.

“Kufanana ndio jambo kubwa zaidi. Kwa mfumo wa uendeshaji wa juu tulikuwa na sehemu zote ambazo zilikuwa na maji, lakini kwa Umwagiliaji kwa njia ya matone tumeshinda tatizo hilo”- Dieter Fisher, mkulima wa viazi vitamu Australia.
