Advantages of the drip irrigation in the greenhouse the cultivation of vegetables.

Next we present some of the many advantages of this system of drip irrigation:

1. Dispense exactly water needed at different stages of crop growth and depending on the type of crop irrigation, thus eliminating losses;

2. each plant can receive the optimal amount of water depending on the needs of the moment;

3. Water for irrigation is reduced by 20-40% due to uniformity and high efficiency (90-96%) and reduce losses through evaporation from the soil and air;

4. Supplying water only the rows of plants, space between rows remain dry, which allows field equipment in good condition, multiplying weed is much diminished;

5. Watering directly to the soil without wetting the plant, prevents the appearance and propagation of pests and diseases. Reduce or avoid some chemical treatments which prevent the pollution of crops;

6. Allows management and various fertilizers during irrigation treatments - the fertiirigare (technology of application of fertilizers with irrigation water) is administered doses harmonious balance with the right level in the various stages of plant growth, situations of stress or load peaks ;

7. Maintain the structure and texture of soil so that the root system of the plants can develop much better compared to other methods of irrigation;

8. The drip irrigation is not cooled to the same extent as other soil irrigation technology, which eliminates a significant stress of the plant usually in the spring;

9. Because the dried leaves and stem of the plant during the dropwise fertirigarii, there is a risk of scalding plant irrigation even in very hot days with temperatures above 40 ° C;

10. confined in the growth of weeds wet because only the active area of ​​the roots of the plants in the culture, resulting in removal of weed control treatments;

11. confined in the spread in the whole crop pests and diseases;

12. The operation of hand work required drip irrigation installation is much lower compared to the other methods of irrigation, which means more time for other activities, and to reduce costs;

13. The plant drip fertigation does not require skilled labor force for operation;

14. Allow the dose bad exact range of amounts of fertilizers necessary administered according to the optimum plant;

15. As an aggregate of some of the above benefits, the drip fertigation system may provide an increase in productivity by up to 100%;

16. It is the only method that allows total automation watering due to fine-tuning flow and water pressure and triggering watering based on information recorded by sensors on soil moisture, temperature and relative humidity.
