Fig -1.1 Watering by Drip system
Drip irrigation is also known as trickle irrigation or micro irrigation is one of the
sub surface irrigation method of applying water or frequent application of water to
crops through small emitters in the vicinity of the root zone, wetting a limited
amount of surface area and depth of the soil. The theory behind drip irrigation is to
apply sufficient moisture to the root of crops to prevent water stress.
A major difference between drip system and most other system is that the balance
between crop evapotranspiration and applied water is maintained over limited
periods of 24 to 72 hrs. The conservation from sprinkler to drip irrigation can
result in water use reduction of 50% and double yield. This is a result of improved
water use and fertility and reduced disease and weed pressure.
CHAPTER - 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1-Definition - Drip irrigation, is also known as trickle irrigation or micro irrigation or localized
irrigation, is an irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the
roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves,
pipes, tubing, and emitters.
Fruit crops-
Banana, Grapes, Citrus, Pomegranate ,Papaya, Pineapple, Watermelon, Sweet lime,Mango.
Vegetable crops -
Cabbage, Cauliflower, Okra, Tomato, Potato, Onion, Chillis, Radish, Brinjal, French been, Capsicum,
Ladyfinger, Beans, Carrots, Cucumber, Bottle gourd, Gherkins, Baby corn.
Commercial crops -
Sugarcane, Cotton, Ground nut.
CHAPTER - 2
Drip irrigation systems deliver water and agrochemicals (e.g., fertilizers and pesticides) directly
to the root zones of the irrigated plants at a rate best suited to meet the needs of the plants being
irrigated. Thus, this system makes efficient use of water, especially when compared to
conventional methods of irrigation such as furrow, border, basin and sprinkler irrigation systems,
which, under arid and drought conditions, suffer from an high rate of water loss and have a low
degree of water use efficiency.
CHAPTER - 3
3.1-Water source-
Common water sources for drip irrigation are surface water ,groundwater, and potable water.
Use the water source that will provide the largest amount of water of greatest quality and
lowest cost.
3.2-Pumping Set-
The role of the pumping system is to move water from the water source to the field through the
distribution system.
Pumping systems may be classified as electric powered systems, gas/diesel powered systems,
and gravity systems.
To create a pressure about 2.5 Kg/sq cm to regulate the amount of water to be supplied.
2.5-Sub lines-
It is usually connected to the main lines through a control valve assembly.
Fig. – 3.4 Sub lines
3.6-Emitters/Drippers-
It is fitted to a drip irrigation lateral and intended to emit water in the form of drops or
continuous flow at emitter rates not exceeding 15liter/hr.
These connect to the tubing or can be inside the tubing and deliver water at a slow,
consistent rate, usually, 0.5, 1, 2 gallons per hour.
Irrigation efficiency 80 – 90 % 30 – 50 %
Suitable water Even saline water can be used Only normal water can be used
Efficiency of fertilizer use Very high since supply is Heavy losses due to leaching
regulated
Cost benefit ratio (additional Excluding water savings -1.3 - Between 1.8 and 3.9
amount in rupees for every 13.3, including water savings –
rupee invested) 2.8 -30.0
CONCLISION
Drip irrigation is a latest sub-surface methods of irrigating water with higher water
demands in arid region. It may not be applicable to all farms. Yet, when properly
designed, installed and managed, drip irrigation may help achieve water conservation by
reducing evaporation and deep drainage when compared to other types of irrigation such
as flood or overhead sprinklers since water can be more precisely applied to the plant
roots. In addition, drip can eliminate many diseases that are spread through water contact
with the foliage. It also results reduced energy costs.
Drip irrigation system is an economical and very efficient system of irrigating for
vegetables, row crops etc.
Drip irrigation is a latest sub-surface method of irrigating water with higher water
demands in arid region.
