Farmland irrigation systems usually include water pumps and hoses to transport water from a source to the farmland for irrigation. Here is some information about farm irrigation pumps and hoses:
Farm irrigation pumps:
1. Type: Farmland irrigation water pumps can be divided into various types, such as centrifugal pumps, plunger pumps, turbo pumps, etc. Choosing the right pump type depends on the required flow, head and irrigation system design.
2. Power source: The water pump can be powered by electric motor, diesel engine, solar panel, etc. Selecting an appropriate power source requires consideration of factors such as energy supply and cost.
3. Flow rate and head: According to the area of the farmland, the water demand of the crops and the location of the water source, the required pump flow rate and head need to be determined. Flow represents the amount of water pumped per unit of time, while head represents the height the water rises from the source.
4. Automation: Some advanced farmland irrigation systems integrate automated controls that can control the start and stop of water pumps based on soil moisture, schedules, or other sensor data to achieve more efficient irrigation.
Farm irrigation hose:
1. Type: Farmland irrigation hoses are divided into drip irrigation belts and sprinkler irrigation belts. The drip irrigation tape drips water to the roots of the plants through the drip holes, while the sprinkler irrigation tape sprays water through the nozzles for irrigation.
2. Drip flow: The drip flow of the drip irrigation belt depends on the design of the drip hole, usually between 1 liter/hour and 4 liters/hour. According to the water demand and planting density of the crops, the appropriate drip flow can be selected.
3. Pipeline layout: The hoses need to be arranged reasonably according to the layout of the farmland to ensure that each plant can get enough water.
4. Durability and Material: The hose should be durable enough to withstand the elements of the outdoor environment. Common materials include polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
5. Connection method: The hose usually has a connection interface for easy connection with water sources, drip irrigation or sprinklers.
6. Spacing of drip holes: For drip irrigation tape, the spacing of drip holes will affect the distribution of water. According to the characteristics of crop water demand and soil conditions, choose the appropriate drip hole spacing.
