An irrigation hose is a device used to irrigate farmland and comes in several common types, depending on its construction, material and purpose. Here are some common types of irrigation hose:
1. Drip Irrigation Tape: Drip Irrigation Tape is an irrigation system that drips water droplets into the soil through tiny holes or drip holes. It reduces water wastage by delivering precise water droplets to plant roots, reducing the risk of water evaporation and soil erosion.
2. Sprinkler Irrigation Hose: Sprinkler Irrigation Hose sprays water on the farmland in a way similar to rainwater by setting sprinklers or nozzles on the pipes. This method is suitable for a wide range of crops and land types, but may result in uneven distribution of moisture in windy conditions.
3. Soaker Hose: A soaker hose is a hose with tiny seepage holes through which water seeps into the soil. It is used above or below ground and is suitable for small areas such as flower beds, gardens and plant pots.
4. Movable Irrigation Reel: This is a large irrigation system that can be coiled and moved. The hose is usually attached to a reel and can be moved across the field as the field needs to cover large areas of crops.
5. Micro-Spray or Micro-Jet Irrigation: This type of water is delivered to the roots of plants in the form of atomization or fine spray through micro-spray nozzles. It is suitable for gardens, flower beds and small fields.
6. Linear Move Irrigation: This is an automated irrigation system that arranges the water belts on the field through multiple brackets and moving tracks, simulating the effect of the water belts moving on the ground.
7. Solid Set Irrigation: This system sets a fixed support and hose layout in the field, similar to a sprinkler irrigation system. The difference is that stationary irrigation hoses are usually more stable and do not have the ability to move.
8. Pipeline irrigation (Subsurface Drip Irrigation): This is a drip irrigation system placed underground, which sends water droplets directly to the roots of plants through water belts buried under the soil. This reduces water evaporation and surface contamination.
