Underground drip irrigation

In recent years the underground drip irrigation systems have become increasingly popular among farmers in Bulgaria. For more than 10 years Aquamat 2000 offers its customers groundwater drip irrigation systems that successfully displace other irrigation methods such as gravity watering. At the same time, underground watering systems are expanding the range of crops of interest to farmers. In Bulgaria crops such as tobacco, tomato, pepper, lavender, rose, alfalfa, haze, hyssop and other technical and oil-bearing plants are already being irrigated underground. The technology is also popularized among fruit growers and farmers growing berries such as raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, currants, vineyards, cherries, plums and peaches. Groundwater irrigation is also unparalleled for nuts, almonds and walnuts.

AQUAMAT 2000 offers machines for mechanized application of drip hoses. When you use standard drip hose systems, you have to dig a depth of 20 to 50 centimeters. In the recent use of modern methods of direct sowing, drip hoses can be shallower - up to 15-25 cm.

Underground drip irrigation has specific advantages over other irrigation methods: evaporation of water from the soil surface and washing of fertilizers is minimized. Underground drip irrigation has specific advantages over other irrigation methods: evaporation of water from the soil surface and washing of fertilizers is minimized. Lack of surface moisture leads to fewer plant diseases and severely reduces weed development. In underground drip irrigation, water and nutrients are fed directly into the root layer of the plants.

Through underground drip irrigation ozonation can be carried out - introduction of oxygen into the soil. Ozonation is essential for both the root system of the plant and the quality and quantity of production achieved. Roots need at least 10% of the soil volume to be air. The best way to deliver oxygen to the root layer is through irrigation water by injecting air into the system.

It is important to be aware that in underground drip irrigation, it is advisable to do weekly, monthly and seasonal flushing of drip wings with irrigation water, and in some cases it may be possible to add detergents for better flushing. Aquamat 2000 "offers a wide range of instruments and instruments for monitoring the normal operation of the system and the parameters of soil and irrigation water.

When used properly, the life of a system is more than 20 years. Depending on the culture being grown, an investment in an underground drip system is paid off within 2 to 5 years.
