Question

Drip irrigation system is best suitable for which type of soil and upto ph?

Answer 1

HEY MATE !

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.

●●●》 Drip irrigation is sometimes called trickle irrigation and involves dripping water onto the soil at very low rates (2-20 litres/hour) from a system of small diameter plastic pipes fitted with outlets called emitters or drippers. Water is applied close to plants so that only part of the soil in which the roots grow is wetted , unlike surface and sprinkler irrigation, which involves wetting the whole soil profile. With drip irrigation water, applications are more frequent (usually every 1-3 days) than with other methods and this provides a very favourable high moisture level in the soil in which plants can flourish.


●●●》 Suitable soils

Drip irrigation is suitable for most soils. On clay soils water must be applied slowly to avoid surface water ponding and runoff. On sandy soils higher emitter discharge rates will be needed to ensure adequate lateral wetting of the soil.


●●●》 Normally, a pH of 5.5 to 6.5 is considered to be optimal for most crops. When growing in soils, the pH of the irrigation water will not always affect the soil pH.
