Irrigation system for greenhouses: own plants, watering the best irrigation, how to make a greenhouse and management

The watering device can be easily bought, but it will not be a problem to assemble it . On the market you can find a large selection of irrigation devices. A conventional barrel with a hose - this can also be said to be a device for watering, albeit primitive. Fortunately, more innovative models have been developed - drip irrigation in the greenhouse construction, which is the most: modern, comfortable, cost-effective. How to choose a watering system for a greenhouse and how to make an irrigation device with your own hands will be discussed below.

How does the irrigation system for the greenhouse

The essence of the system is that watering in the greenhouse is carried out by water droplets that penetrate directly into the basal area of ​​each of the raceseny. Do not worry that not all roots will be spilled. The quality of the soil is such that when the drip irrigation is formed not a wet cone, but a three-dimensional sphere.

The correctly installed system ensures uniform watering of all plants

The device has the following advantages :

• Water is saved;
• Forces are being saved;
• Collect rich harvest;
• No weeds;
• No soil erosion.

Diseases that are spread due to moisture on the foliage of plants( eg, late blight), with drip irrigation are eliminated. Thanks to these advantages, the yield increases to 70%.The effectiveness of drip irrigation is well indicated by the fact that in Israeli territory, for example, irrigation of agricultural crops of open and closed ground is only a drop. And what about irrigation systems for greenhouses?Everything happens quite simply. There is a withdrawal of water from the source, then filtration and feeding to the drip lines.

The main thing in the device is a drip line. It can be made in the form of a tube or tape.

Tubular is a PE tube with a diameter of up to 20 mm with attached devices - droppers. They can be arranged outside or inside. Arranged from the outside are the very first types of devices. They, perhaps, put their hands in any hose, the desired diameter. These droppers can be compensated and uncompensated, with different number of outlets and water consumption. There are also mini devices that are designed for long-term operation.

Modern devices have a self-cleaning mode from dirt. The dropper is not disassembled, therefore mechanical cleaning of the system is not provided. Later, internal droppers were created. There are several kinds. In each there is a filter, a valve and a labyrinth - the most complicated device, through which water flows. Hoses with internal drippers are more durable, although they have the thinnest walls.

Of course, drip irrigation is especially effective in the southern area, since there is always a lack of water, but the highest technological effectiveness of this method attracts many. As a result, the drip irrigation system in the hothouse design becomes the dominant device of protected soil in all climatic zones - and in Irkutsk, where there is abundant rainfall, and in snowy Yakutia.

For the joy of truck farmers in recent years, manufacturers have begun to produce drip systems, not only for large industrial greenhouses, but also for small greenhouses. Today it is possible to purchase products that are designed for even 15-20 plants.

Irrigation system in the greenhouse: intrasoil and drip irrigation

The internal soil type of irrigation is considered to be the most effective, but it is also very expensive. It is arranged so that water flows directly to the roots of plant culture.

The most widely used systems are moisturizing the soil near the roots

No doubt, this method has the undeniable advantages of :

• The soil structure is preserved;
• The uniform level of humidification is maintained;
• Reduces water consumption and eliminates evaporation.

The internal soil irrigation system in the hothouse design is increasingly used due to its performance characteristics. Drip irrigation also has its advantage. It consists in a constant and fully systematized supply of water to the roots. This saves not only water, but also electricity and fertilizers. The standard pipeline, as already mentioned, has special droppers, arranged between the rows in the greenhouse, taking into account the width of the rows and the number of plants. Under each bush is arranged a separate dropper, which supplies it with the right amount of liquid.

The best irrigation system for greenhouses

Drip automatic irrigation "Water meter" is designed for 2 beds, the length of which is 4 meters or more. The system is very popular and is considered one of the best. Because of the large number of droppers, plants can be planted at intervals of 200 mm.

Drip irrigation systems are also used in industrial greenhouses

The system is running so :

1. The device is connected to a barrel or water supply.
2. The ball valve automatic with the timer functions from 2 small batteries.
3. The timer sets the interval between the watering and the duration of each watering.

Also in the device is a filtration system that deeply cleans the water. Drip irrigation systems are most in demand among the consumer, since the device is sold at an affordable cost, and it can also be done on its own.

Convenient watering system in the greenhouse with your own hands

It is possible to create a drip irrigation device on your own. All the necessary components can be purchased today in specialized stores. Homemade watering plant is done quite simply. Water can be supplied from any container that stands at altitude.

The installation of rain irrigation systems is not suitable for all plants.

The following calculation is used: for the operation of a line with a thickness of 0.2 mm, at least 2 m of water column is required.

You have to make a drawing and markup. First of all, the arrangement of the tubes and droppers for the greenhouse structure is carried out.

This requires a drawing that needs:

• Apply dimensions;
• To understand how many rows of tubes are necessary;
• Determine how many droppers in a row will be needed.

Just need to understand where the water inlet and add. Equipment: filter, automatics. If the gardener wants the system to be the best and lasted for many years, then the filter can not be dispensed with. The next moment is the hose assembly. Suitable standard garden hose. It must be impermeable to light, not more than 1.5 mm thick. According to the dimensions of the drawing, the hose must be cut and connected with each other.

For this, there are sets of microfitting :

• Cross;
• Corners;
• Tees;
• Plugs;
• Plungers.

The next step is to mount the irrigation droppers. For this it is necessary to take an awl or a special punch. After making a hole, you just need to insert a dropper into it, it must penetrate with effort. If the passage is free, then under the pressure of the water drip drop. They can fly out, and if a very hard or an unnecessarily soft hose was used. Water from the droppers of a number of devices may be distributed through microscopic tubes with tips to 2-4 plants. So it's not difficult, the device is ready to work.

This is how the system for greenhouse construction is done on its own, and in this case manual control is not required. What design to choose for irrigation and irrigation, each trucker decides.
