Automatic Greenhouse and Irrigation Systems

Greenhouse cultivation has become more common these days. The necessary awareness needed about the greenhouse has reached even the common man. The world as a whole is itself becoming a greenhouse. But still for improvement of the vegetable rate, which is going in the arithmetic improvement rate to meet the on going, geometric growth rate of the humans is very much required. Cultivation of vegetables and flowers in the greenhouse is a very painful task than growing it in the fields of their chance.

Difficulties faced in Greenhouse

The difficulties faced in a greenhouse are countless. The most major difficulties faced in the greenhouse are the factors consisting of temperature, air circulation and moisture. The temperature has to be correct for the plants to grow which is usually greater than the surrounding temperature and only in the most rare conditions it is lesser than the outside temperature. The air circulation has to be high as this is a closed atmosphere usually the available air in the room will be the minimal as possible. Then watering is a major problem faced by this group of plants, as it cannot be done as easily as it is done in the field. Where we can make paths and water can be sent to the respective plants.

Methods to overcome

The temperature is provided to the plants is usually carried out by the structure of the building itself. This has a inclined glasses which is capable of sending the sunlight inside but not allowing it to escape the way it came in. as by this fact it makes it trapped in so by fact causing the temperature of the building to be higher than the surrounding temperature. The temperature will be 70 degree Celsius if the atmospheric temperature is 0 degree Celsius. This can be achieved if proper design is made in the greenhouse. The air circulation is monitored when we use vents in the windows and a special type of window, which will take care of the needy, replaces the back door. And about the watering scheduled and proper watering has to be done in order to make the proper growth of the plants.

Automation

There is automation available for the optimization of the all the above-suggested things. You can optimize the watering system, which is a little modification of your fire exhaust system. This is capable of providing timely and correct water quantity. The other is the ventilation and temperature. These things are also controlled by the usage of climate controllers in the greenhouse.

In common greenhouse cultivation the problems faced and the methods to deal with it are mentioned here. The automation process that are available and the complementation principles that can be taken to improve the production are dealt with detail.

Drip Irrigation System for Row Crops

Drip irrigation system is a great way to conserve water and soil nutrients. In short, it is a great way to save the earth.

It is globally recognized that a drip irrigation system is the best way to water a garden or a farm, providing just enough (not too much, not less) water for flowers, vegetables, vines, baskets and other row crops.

Drip irrigation system for row crops is increasing throughout the globe. This method is basically applying irrigation water in precise location and amount, thus offering the potential of increased profit due to reduced water, fertilizer and cultural costs and increased revenue due to increased yield.

One of the main components of a drip irrigation system is drip tapes. Many drip tapes are now available to purchase in the market. You can find a range of tape diameters, wall thickness, emitter spacing and emitter flow rates.

Initially a tape with 16 mm diameter was the only one available. But now you can even find diameters ranging from 10 mm to 35 mm. The larger diameter tapes, the longer rows you can irrigate. It ranges from 400 m to 800 m in lengths.

Wall thicknesses generally range from 4 mile to 15 mile. As for emitter spacing generally ranges from 51 mm to 762 mm. It offers wider range in tape discharge rates as well.

Drip tape can be buried or installed on the soil surface. Installation equipment is now available, helping you install a drip irrigation system for row crops even more easily.
