ii. Prepare raised planting beds to a height of 30cm, and the width to 80cm, to 100cm depending on the crop type
iii. Maintain a bed to bed spacing of 30cm, to 40cm
How much does it cost to put in a drip system? What is the cost of drip kits?
The drip system costs given above are complete. They cover all material and labor for the unit area
When is the best time to do drip irrigation?
Irrigation time. Early morning watering is the best so that the soil warms up during the day.
Which drip tape thickness should I use?
0.4mm thickness and above are well suited for tropical open field crops.
What is the right pressure for drip irrigation in Kenya?
Drip irrigation tapes in Kenya are designed to work under gravity pressure (from 1.5 meters head or 0.15 bar).
How much water is required for drip irrigation?/ How much water do I pass through my drip kits?
Depend on the crop and irrigation sequence. Generally, your soil will hold 16 cubic of water per acre for a good crop
How do I select my emitter spacing?
Emitter spacing is determined by crop spacing. Closer crops have closer emitters
How long should I drip irrigate?
Until the soil holds enough water without runoff
How exactly does drip irrigation work?
By allowing water to sip to the crop root zone slowly
How do you drip irrigate?
By allowing the drip emitters to irrigate until the soil around the root zone has enough moisture. Drip irrigation is done by opening the main water valve from the main tank/ source. Once the water gets to the farm, the farmer will open the respective valves to each block to irrigate block by block. The time of irrigation will depend on the flow rate and the water needed.
Why is drip irrigation expensive?
Because it utilises the most pipes, fittings, and accessories and the most installation labour.
How many emitters can I put on a drip line?
There is no limit to the number of emitters, put them according to the number of trees. Vegetable drip lines are pre-perforated and so one does not add emitters. The number of emitters depends on the emitter spacing on the drip line.
What are the two main types of drip irrigation?
Pre-perforated drip pipes and button drippers
How to Install Drip Kits in Kenya
Time needed:Â 1 day.
- Design.
Make a sketch outlay of the farm
- Trench.
Make trenches for the main and sub-main pipes if the system will be sub-surface
- Connections.
Begin the connection at the tank or pump station
- Piping.
Lay the main and sub-main pipes
- Emitters.
Connect the drip lines and align the emitters
- Test
Check your system for pressure, leakages, and sufficiency of water supply
- Check the flow rate
Use a 1-liter container and determine how long it takes to fill up. This will give you your actual flow rate. The higher your emitter flow rate, the higher the rate of watering and less incidence of emitter clogging
