Button drippers irrigation in Kenya is for orchards, biennials, perennials, hedge, and forest trees. Our on-line button drippers irrigate each tree according to its water requirement.
These drippers will be on the HDPE pipe at the base of the tree or other crops by making a perforation on the 16mm HDPE pipe. We supply both adjustable button drippers and non-adjustable button drippers in Kenya
Button drippers for sale in Kenya by Grekkon Limited have anti-UV treatment. This prevents fast solar degradation through high intense UV radiation. It is an important factor for a grower to consider when procuring button drippers, and irrigation pipes. Non-UV treated irrigation accessories will be replaced after a few months of solar exposure. This is an expensive undertaking for a grower
An adjustable button dripper is Kes 12 apiece
The cost of a button dripper irrigation system per acre depends on the tree crop spacing. In the tabulation below, we provide 3 examples
| Avocado | Passion / Paw Paw | Apple / Tree Tomato | |
| Spacing | 5M x 5M | 3M x 3M | 2.5M x 2.5M |
| Cost per Acre | Kes 85,000 | Kes 100,000 | Kes 115,00 |
The farmer has complete control over the volume of water emitted by these drippers. From zero liters per hour (complete shut off) to seventy liters per hour (completely open). They have color codes in red and come in various sizes according to the manufacturer. The discharge specs remain similar. The advantage of this adjustable button dripper is that a farmer gets to decide how much water to give to each plant. Adjust for a tree that needs more to receive as much, and vice versa. The downside is that one may under or over irrigate unwillingly
1. An adjustible button dripper at work . It is attached on a 16mm HDPE pipe
Adjustible button drippers are the most commonly found tree crop irrigation emitters. They allow the grower full control over the amount of water each tree crop receives.
They irrigate according to the manufacturer’s set water discharge rate. Every discharge type is color-coded for identification. They provide a uniform amount of water to each tree crop. On the negative, one cannot adjust to individual crop water needs.
Our technical team advises growers on the most appropriate type of drippers to use and the number based on; crop population, acreage, crop water requirement, and available water pressure. The difference in each button dripper type is the flow rate, which ranges from 20L/ Hr to 70L/ hr. These button drippers for sale are available in our outlets countrywide
The drippers irrigation period is a factor of the volume of water available in the system and the pressure. This assumes that the pressure too. It will take longer if both or one of them is low
