    Suitable Crops

     Drip irrigation is most suitable for row


    crops (vegetables, soft fruit), tree and vine
    crops where one or more emitters can be
    provided for each plant. Generally only
    high value crops are considered because of
    the high capital costs of installing a drip
    system.
    Suitable Slopes

     Drip irrigation is adaptable to any farmable


    slope. Normally the crop would be planted
    along contour lines and the water supply
    pipes (laterals) would be laid along the
    contour also. This is done to minimize
    changes in emitter discharge as a result of
    land elevation changes.
    Suitable Soils

     Drip irrigation is suitable for most soils. On


    clay soils water must be applied slowly to
    avoid runoff. On sandy soils higher emitter
    discharge rates will be needed to ensure
    adequate lateral wetting of the soil.
    Suitable Irrigation Water

     One of the main problems with drip


    irrigation is blockage of the emitters. All
    emitters have very small water ways
    ranging from 0.2-2.0 mm in diameter and
    these can become blocked if the water is not
    clean. Thus it is essential for irrigation
    water to be free of sediments. If this is not
    so then filtration of the irrigation water will
    be needed.
    Drip System Layout

     Pump unit.
     Control head
     Main and sub main lines.
     Manifolds
     Laterals.
     Emitters of drippers.
     Fertilizer Applicator
    Drip System Layout
    Control Head

     The control head consists of valves to control


    the discharge and pressure in the entire system.
    It may also have filters to clear the water.
    Common types of filter include screen filters
    and graded sand filters which remove fine
    material suspended in the water. Some control
    head units contain a fertilizer or nutrient tank.
    These slowly add a measured dose of fertilizer
    into the water during irrigation. This is one of
    the major advantages of drip irrigation over
    other methods.
    Emitters or Drippers

     Emitters or drippers are devices used to


    control the discharge of water from the
    lateral to the plants. They are usually
    spaced more than 1meter apart with one or
    more emitters used for a single plant such
    as a tree. For row crops more closely spaced
    emitters maybe used to wet a strip of soil.
