Micro irrigation is a modern method of irrigation. In this way water is irrigated through water sprayers, water sprayers, water sprayers and other emissions emitters on the surface or underground.

Micro Irrigation Systems Micro irrigation is a modern method of irrigation; in this way water is irrigated through water sprayers, water sprayers, water sprayers and other emission emitters on the surface or underground. The main components of a micro irrigation system are as follows. Water source, pumping equipment (engine and pump), spherical cranes, Induction equipment, Filters, Control valves, PVC connectors (main and secondary) and inductors. In this system, water is used to fall near the root area of the crop. Air purifiers are fixed based on crop spacing. Many different types of emitters are available in the market. They are classified as inline dryers, on-line drip switches, micro-tubes, and compensated pressure switches. Drip irrigation is most suitable for wider spacing crops. The sprinkler irrigation system is mostly followed in sandy or clay soil. This system is most suitable for horticultural crops and small grasses. In this method the water is sprayed at a lower altitude in different directions. Portable micro-sprinklers are also available. They spread a little more water than drippers and micro-sprinklers. They spray water in one meter at most. It is used to prepare crèches and pitches in soils with low water capacity. Advantages of drip irrigation system Water conservation and high yields High quality quantity and increased results Suitable for all soil types Easy method of fertility and chemicals Employment conservation and field preparation costs
The cost of investment varies mostly on the basis of crop spacing Generally, the causes of blockage of solid particles (sand, rust), soft dirt (organic matter, algae, microorganisms, salt), sediments (salt in fertilizers). Filtration is the key to success or failure of the system. The filter key is to stop dirt particles that damage any components in the system. To remove saline crust, commercial hydrochloric acid can be used at 30 per cent at a rate of 1 liter per cubic meter. (One part hydrochloric acid mixed with 5 parts of water) To remove algae and fungal obstruction sodium hydrochloride can be used from 5 to 500 ppm (10% of chlorine). Maintenance of drip system Wash back filters and sand Repeated cleaning of emissions and fouling Cleaning in all irrigation Cleaning main and main sub-tubes Cleaning pipes, PVC, acid or chlorine may be used to remove blockage.
