Reasons For Using Pulse Irrigation

By Teri Farley


Through pulse irrigation, pressurized water could be used continuously, with a pulsating output. By using a low rate system, the quantity of effluent provided can be small. Studies have shown that a moisture level increase and a smaller amount of effluent does not mean nutrients are lost. Moisture can be controlled is the soil because of the way in which the discharged liquid is used.

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 tools required for the right procedure can be: solenoid valves at each needed area, an irrigation controller and underground cables for linking the two components. Soils moisture levels have been measured by scientists prior to using the system and after. In the tests, plants like blueberries, blackberries and tomatoes were used.

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.
