Description
The Drip Tape | 500m is a highly efficient and durable irrigation solution tailored for precise water delivery to plants. This product is ideal for farmers, gardeners, and landscapers looking to optimize water usage while promoting healthy crop growth.
Specifications of Drip Tape | 500m:
| Parameter | Typical Range | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter Spacing | 10cm, 20cm, 30cm, 50cm | Closer spacing = more uniform moisture for dense crops. |
| Flow Rate | 1.0–1.6 LPH (liters/hour) | Lower flow = longer run times, better for slopes/sandy soils. |
| Wall Thickness | 0.10mm–0.40mm (4–16 mil) | Thicker = more durable but costlier (e.g., 0.20mm for 1-2 seasons). |
| Working Pressure | 0.3–1.0 bar (4–15 PSI) | Requires pressure regulator to prevent bursting. |
Benefits for Cost-Sensitive Farming:
- Water efficiency: Saves 30–50% of water versus traditional methods by minimizing evaporation and runoff.
- Uniform water distribution: Consistent moisture delivery supports strong, even plant growth.
- Weed & disease control: Irrigates only the root zone, keeping foliage dry and reducing weeds.
- Time & labor savings: Easy to install; compatible with automation via timers and sensors.
- Cost-effective: Ideal for straight-line, high-value crops like vegetables and annuals. Relatively inexpensive (~$0.10–0.30/ft).
Installation & Maintenance:
- Pressure: Typically 8–15 PSI; pressure regulators and filters are essential.
- Lay-out: Use straight runs matched to crop row spacing; burying the tape extends lifespan.
- Maintenance: Inspect/filter regularly for clogging; tape may last 1–3 seasons.
- Mulching: Covering with mulch helps reduce evaporation emitters should face upward.
Ideal Uses:
- Vegetables, annual row crops, greenhouse beds, and orchards.
- Fertigation compatible: Easily integrates with liquid fertilization systems.
- Effective in both flat and uneven terrains, suiting smallholder farms and commercial operations.
