LESSON 5.32 VEGETABLES - CLOSER DRIPPING SPACING

 

Improve Crop Quality and System Efficiency: Closer Dripper Spacing

 

Correct spacing between each drip emitter can make a big difference in crop quality and system efficiency. Early drip irrigation systems in open field vegetables used drippers spaced at 40 + cm intervals. However, this practice has generally been superseded by closer dripper spacing of 10 – 30 cm intervals due to the need for more uniform crops and better irrigation system efficiencies.

The benefits of closer dripper spacing are numerous but are all related to more effective water movement.

When irrigating, you want water to move laterally, not deep down through the soil profile where it is either lost (including any fertilizers added) or is harder for plants to uptake. By keeping drippers spaced at close intervals, water flows laterally quicker, ensuring a continued wet strip along the row.

 Recommended Dripper Integral Spacing:  

 All vegetables except leafy greens needs             20 -30 cm spacing

Strawberries & leafy vegetables     needs               10 – 20 cm spacing

 

“T-Tape gives us maximum flexibility of product choice. We use 15 cm emitter spacing as it provides the best effective wetting pattern, leading to better crop uniformity and yields”.

KILIMO BORA … Imefaulu kwa washauri
SOMO LA 5.32 MBOGA MBOGA - NAFASI YA KARIBU YA DRIPPING

Boresha Ubora wa Mazao na Ufanisi wa Mfumo: Nafasi ya Karibu kwa Matone

Nafasi sahihi kati ya kila mtoaji wa matone inaweza kuleta tofauti kubwa katika ubora wa mazao na ufanisi wa mfumo. Mifumo ya mapema ya umwagiliaji kwa njia ya matone katika mboga za shambani hutumika vitone vilivyotenganishwa kwa vipindi vya 40 + cm. Hata hivyo, zoezi hili kwa ujumla limefutiliwa mbali na umbali wa karibu wa matone ya sm 10 – 30 kutokana na hitaji la mazao sare zaidi na utendakazi bora wa mfumo wa umwagiliaji.
Faida za umbali wa karibu wa matone ni nyingi lakini zote zinahusiana na harakati za maji zenye ufanisi zaidi.
Wakati wa umwagiliaji, unataka maji yasogee pembeni, sio chini kabisa kupitia mfumo wa udongo ambapo yanapotea (pamoja na mbolea yoyote iliyoongezwa) au ni vigumu kwa mimea kumeza. Kwa kuweka dripu zikiwa zimetengana kwa vipindi vya karibu, maji hutiririka kwa kasi zaidi, na hivyo kuhakikisha ukanda wa mvua unaoendelea kwenye safu mlalo.
 Nafasi Muhimu ya Dripper Inayopendekezwa:
 Mboga zote isipokuwa mboga za majani zinahitaji umbali wa cm 20 -30
Jordgubbar na mboga za majani zinahitaji umbali wa 10 - 20 cm

"T-Tape inatupa unyumbufu wa juu zaidi wa chaguo la bidhaa. Tunatumia nafasi ya sentimeta 15 kwa kuwa hutoa muundo bora zaidi wa kulowesha, na hivyo kusababisha uwiano bora wa mazao na mavuno”.

2 AGRIBUSINESS – 2.6 – THE WORK IN THE SEASONS

  ORGANIC FARMING COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY 2 AGRIBUSINESS – 2.6 – THE WORK IN THE SEASONS   Winter or dry season as we call it Africa is a time for building and repairing, for felling timber and converting it, for laying hedges, digging drains and ditches, building fences and stone walls. If the soil in the garden is heavy clay, it is best to keep off it as much as possible, because digging or working such soil in winter only does harm to it. On lighter land the same inhibition does not apply In cold climates the land may be deep under snow anyway, and all the crops that have been harvested will be safe in clamp or root cellar, or stored away in jars or bottles, crocks and barrels. The good husbandman should start the winter feeling that his labours have secured him a store of good and varied food, to keep him and his family through the dark months, and provide hospitality for his friends too. So for the self-supporter winter is also a time for feasting. Make hot bed with compo...
