Drip irrigation of potatoes and its advantages

Drip irrigation or drip irrigation is undoubtedly an important discovery in agriculture. The invention of automatic dosing irrigation dates back to the 30s of the last century; it has been used on an industrial scale since the 1960s.
Technology
The drip irrigation system includes:
• droppers for dosed water supply;
• pipeline;
• shut-off valves;
• taps and valves;
• filters;
• automatic solution units (for preparing fertilizers).
Advantages
1. Maintain soil moisture within optimal limits.
2. Ensuring intensive root respiration.
3. Better development of the root system.
4. The plant uses 100% of the incoming water.
5. Effective application of fertilizers.
6. Increasing potato yield by 2 times.
7. Save water up to 60%.
8. Reducing the possibility of plant infection with diseases.
9. The soil between the rows remains dry.
10. Preventing soil erosion.
11. Reducing the labor intensity of the process.
12.Ensure energy savings.
13. Possibility of watering at any time.
14. Reduce weed growth.
Don’t think that by making holes in the hose yourself, you will create a good drip irrigation system. Proper design of a drip hose creates and maintains constant pressure inside it throughout its entire length.
