Information on the irrigator irrigation system. – Blog

For the hot months it is important to make sure to provide the water needed for the plants of your garden.

Inappropriate irrigation can cause more damage than well to plants. Each type of plant requires a certain amount of water and an irrigation frequency, depending on the place it occupies in the garden (in the shadows or with direct sunlight).

Most plants are demanding and irrigation must be made with water at a temperature near the air and implicitly to that of the ground, so the best moments to water the garden are early in the morning and at sunset, after sunset.

However, on hot days, irrigation at night favors the appearance of mushrooms, while irrigation during the day can burn the leaves of the plants. In addition, if it is very hot or wind, most of the water evaporates before it can infiltrate the ground.

It is good and advisable to use the irrigation of the water brought to the surface from the groundwater or rainwater collected in special deposits, left to rest and which has a temperature similar to that of the environment.

As temperatures increase, the amount of water that plants will need will be greater. Plants with large and smooth leaves or grass must be watered more frequently than plants with hairy or shine leaves.

The trees and bushs just planted will permanently need a wet floor not only on the surface but also in depth.

The way of watering plants varies according to their variety, the size of the garden and, finally, but not less important, to the owner's budget. For this you have many methods available including you can choose the one that seems most effective.

When choosing the irrigation system, the type of harvest, the water needs, the type of soil, the source of energy, the position of the water source and the financial availability (both for the purchase and for management). and maintenance).

One of the most popular irrigation systems is surface irrigation, which can be of different types:

– spraying,
– dripping (rooting),
– of microperfusion.

It is the oldest method for watering all types of crops and plants: field vegetables, potatoes, floral and dendrological nurseries, shrubs, grass, flowers, etc.

All the pipes and pipes, as well as the sprinklers, are mounted on the ground.

Sprinkler irrigation can be performed with the help of:

– rain wings;
– irrigation lines;
– Microaspersores.

Rain wings They are used for cultivation in large surfaces, easy to assemble and move. The length of a rain wing can reach 300-400 m. A sprinkler usually rides on a rain wing whose irrigation diameter can reach up to 38 m.

Irrigation lines They can reach between 50 and 100 m in length. They are recommended for small gardens. Depending on the flow of water of the fountain, but also of the flow supplied by any imperiation, a splash line can have one or more sprinklers, mounted online or branched.

The irrigation lines can be with pipes for different diameters, 25 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, depending on the size of the surface to be irrigated. On smaller surfaces, irrigation lines can be performed with tubes with textile inserts, which can be easily mounted and disassembled with the help of special connectors.

AS Sprinkle the models It can be used:

– circular sprinklers that water on circular or adjustable surfaces on circular sectors of different openings (corners of 5 degrees to 360 degrees);
– rectangular oscillating sprinklers that rectangular water or square surfaces;
– special sprinklers for irregular surfaces that water the outline of the garden;
– special sprinklers for high trees mounted in height on a special tripod;
– sprinklers with different irrigation nozzles that are used for different plants, based on their needs;
– spread during narrow and long surfaces.

The advantages of using spray lines:

– the springs guarantee fine rain, which guarantees an adequate microclimate for plants;
– its use does not forget a crust at the ground level and the exchange of air takes place at the root level;
– Do not break the leaves or flowers of the plants;
– good uniformity of irrigation is guaranteed;
– can work with limited water sources (well, fountain, channels, swimming pools)

The disadvantage of surface irrigation by spraying, in the case of relentless grass or leafy vegetables (parsley, dill, leustea, etc.), is that it is necessary to periodically change the position of the power pipes to prevent plants from becoming and allowing the their uniform development.
