When choosing an irrigation system, the options are diverse and sometimes confusing. Micro-irrigation is a good choice for a number of reasons. Not only is it easy to install, it's also inexpensive and versatile. Micro-irrigation is also known as "low-flow" irrigation. It can be used for garden plants, vegetable gardens, potted plants, etc., but it is not recommended for lawn irrigation.

Advantages of Micro Irrigation

The advantages of micro-irrigation are many. Conserving water is the most important thing. With micro-irrigation, evaporation can be reduced by watering a small portion of the soil and soaking the plant's soil and roots. Another advantage is the lower flow rate. This means that micro-irrigation requires less energy and uses less water per irrigation than high-pressure systems. Traditional sprinkler systems use up to 1500 (L) of water per hour, while micro-irrigation sprinklers have a maximum flow rate of 150L/H.

Micro-irrigation also easily adapts to changes in terrain. If the system is properly managed, the hilly terrain will not generate runoff. As with any irrigation system, micro irrigation systems can help save a lot of money as long as the correct maintenance practices are followed.

system type

One of the different types of systems is called a dropper. This is a tube installed under the mulch where plants are placed close to each other and in a grid. Another system that can also be selected is the drip irrigation sprinkler. Drip sprinklers are used for precise applications such as potted plants or individual garden plants.

Micro sprayers can cover most areas in all systems and come in a variety of spray sizes and styles. The type of system chosen depends on the owner's needs. Micro sprayers are great for areas with uneven plant growth.

Regardless of the type of micro-irrigation system chosen, a timer must be installed. Most manufacturers offer battery powered timers that attach directly to the hose bib for easy access. Micro-irrigation can also be installed to operate with an automatic sprinkler system. It must be installed in a separate area due to different runtimes and application rates. Small pumps are also available, using harvested rainwater and micro-irrigation systems.

With so many options and versatility, micro-irrigation is an excellent choice among all irrigation systems. Micro-irrigation can improve plant health and reduce pests and weeds in crop growth.
