Pulse irrigation uses pressurized water that is supplied continuously, but has a pulsating output. Very small amounts of effluent is applied, using a low rate system. According to research, once the soil moisture level increases, lower effluent levels do not lead to loss of nutrients. The discharged liquid can be used to manage the amount of moisture available for the plants.
The device that pulses has two cross-sectional orifices: a small one(inlet) and a larger one(outlet). The system also contains a valve that opens and closes automatically because of differences of pressure. In order to store water, a reservoir is used. The storage container fill up when the valve is closed and also creates pressure for opening it.
The nutritive substances have to be kept in the root zone. Plants must extract the compounds and effluents are applied according to this stage. Since no underground leaks exist, the nourishment can begin. In the majority of cases, soil humidity deficit levels can decrease. The traditional manual irrigation way that involves a person should not be combined with the modern one. Loss of nutrients can occur if the rule is not respected.
Pulse irrigation can be used continuously even until the moisture level for the soil is near the field capacity. Effluent can be managed when soil humidity is at high levels, but also when the area is dry and cracked, as this will keep nutrients where they are needed. Experts recommend that the cycle should have twenty minutes of watering, followed by forty minutes of of pause.
According to the twenty minutes rule, in one hundred and eighty minutes you could make three watering cycles with an application rate of four millimeters per hour. One of the reasons for using a system is saving money, because the irrigation is not made without a stop. In the society and economic conditions of today, farmers see pulse applications as efficient ways of feeding crops. Watering and fertilization are usually the most costly procedures in the entire lifetime of a culture.
If at least one of the two costly procedures can become cheaper, the whole cost of farming could be reduced. Pulse irrigation is a nontraditional process and it can adapt nicely to the moisture and feeding requirements of a plant. A good schedule for watering can be ten to fifteen minutes every sixty minutes, for six or twelves hours each day.
The equipment needed for a correct operation can include an irrigation controller, solenoid valves at every required location and underground wires that could connect the two devices. Researchers have measured soil moisture levels before and after using the method for testing purposes. Cultures of tomatoes, blueberries and blackberries have been used for the studies.
Pulse irrigation is a modern method of watering crops that people can appreciate, especially because of decreasing the costs of farming. The systems are automated and allow the use of liquid in cycles, for fulfilling the needs of plants in the most exact ways. A maximization and optimization of production from agriculture can be achieved.
