The Benefits Of Using Pulse Irrigation

By Teri Farley


People can use pressurized water to spray crops continuously and without their intervention, through pulse irrigation. A small quantity of effluent could be offered to the plants with the use of a low rate system. According to experts in the field, nutrients can be maintained even if a small amount of effluent is used, or there is an increase of the moisture level. The discharged water may be used in a way that allows a good ground humidity management.

The pulsing equipment contains two orifices that are cross-sectional: one that is smaller and one that is larger (inlet and outlet). There is also a valve that works automatically and the various pressure levels can make it close or open. For storing the liquid, you can take advantage of the system reservoir. At the moment in which the valve closes, the container becomes full and it opens the valve because of the pressure that is created.

The nutritive substances have to be kept in the root zone. Plants must extract the compounds and effluents are applied according to this stage. Since no underground leaks exist, the nourishment can begin. In the majority of cases, soil humidity deficit levels can decrease. The traditional manual irrigation way that involves a person should not be combined with the modern one. Loss of nutrients can occur if the rule is not respected.

Pulse irrigation can be used continuously even until the moisture level for the soil is near the field capacity. Effluent can be managed when soil humidity is at high levels, but also when the area is dry and cracked, as this will keep nutrients where they are needed. Experts recommend that the cycle should have twenty minutes of watering, followed by forty minutes of of pause.

As the twenty minute rule is applied, a system can go through three watering cycles during one hundred and eighty minutes. Four millimeters are covered each hour. Many people use the procedure because it can help them save money. The automated system ensures a continuous irrigation of crops. Today, when economic conditions can be harsh, pulse applications may be very efficient ways of providing nutrients to the plants in a culture. In general, fertilization and watering are the most expensive elements of farming.

You can decrease the the natural nutritional schedule of a plant. If you want to water crops efficiently, it must be done ten to fifteen minutes an hour. The process must be repeated each day, for six hours, or twelve.

The proper operation can be ensured by components like: an irrigation controller, solenoid vales for all areas in which they are required can buried cables for making connection between the devices. Researchers have tested the level of humidity before an operation and after it. Blackberries, blueberries and tomatoes were the subject of the measurements.

As a modern way of watering plants pulse irrigation can become very popular today, because of lowering farming costs. A system can work on its own and the liquid is sprayed in cycles, for adapting to the requirements of a culture. Agriculture can be greatly improved, as the management of crops may be optimized.
