Water in Agriculture

Research shows almost %70 of all water consumption consists of watering. In our country, %75 of yearly usable 110 billions cubic meters of water is used in agriculture. The coming years will lead to more consumption with greater needs to feed the growing population.

The ignorant and primitive watering not only wastes water but also damages the soil. Drip irrigation prevents both unnecessary use of water and soil damage while providing the plants with just enough water.

Natural Enemy of Salt

Watering done in random intervals in hot climates with little rain to improve the production, leave the salt in the field. It will also raise the sub surface water levels and the salt they contain. When the waters vaporise through the intense heat, leaves the salt in the soil. Salt prevents efficient production. Even good quality water leaves 1.1 tonnes of salt in 10 acres of land in such conditions.

Applicable Fields of The Drip Irrigation Method and/or System

Typically, a Drip Irrigation system is used to water valuable plants (vegetable, fruit etc.) that grow in light soil in regions that commonly lack water or have low quality water. For instance, it is used to water valuable plants in the East and South regions of Turkey in  the commercial production of hothouse flowers and its field of application increases day after day.

It is particularly helpful when watering flowering plants because, in contrast, watering via a sprinkler system may cause plants to lose their flowers since they are so sensitive to external factors. Overall, economical usage of water is highly advised in rainless regions, which makes drip irrigation systems highly desirable when producing this type of agricultural crop.
