What are the advantages of drip irrigation and fertilization?

4.2 It greatly saves labor for fertilization, saving more than 90% compared to traditional fertilization methods. Fertilization is fast, and fertilization of thousands of acres can be completed within one day.

4.3 Flexible, convenient, and accurate control of fertilization time and quantity.

4.4 Significantly increases yield and improves quality, enhancing the crop's ability to withstand bad weather.

4.5 It allows for the cultivation of crops in marginal soils, such as sandy land, steep mountain slopes, and mildly saline-alkali land.

4.6 It helps prevent fertilizer leaching into groundwater and polluting water bodies.

4.7 It facilitates standardized cultivation.

4.8 Due to the coordinated effect of water and fertilizer, it can significantly reduce water consumption. Coupled with the water-saving effect of facility irrigation itself, water saving reaches more than 50%.

4.9 Drip irrigation fertilization can reduce the spread of diseases, especially waterborne diseases such as wilt. This is because drip irrigation is single-plant irrigation. When drip irrigation is used, water infiltrates into the soil, the ground is relatively dry, the humidity between plants and rows is reduced, and the incidence of disease is also significantly reduced.

4.10 Drip irrigation fertilization only moistens the root layer, and there is no water and fertilizer supply between rows, so weed growth is also significantly reduced.

4.11 Pesticides can be applied through drip irrigation, which has a good control effect on soil pests, nematodes, and root diseases.

4.12 In winter, when the soil temperature is low, water can be heated and dripped to the roots through drip irrigation to increase the soil temperature. It has strong applicability in greenhouses.

4.13 For heavier clay soils, the drip irrigation pipes are buried at a certain depth in the soil, and air is injected into the soil through an air compressor to solve the problem of root hypoxia.

4.14 Because drip irrigation can easily achieve precise water and fertilizer control, in the case of deep soil layers, the root system can be introduced into the lower soil layer to avoid damage to the roots caused by high temperatures on the soil surface in summer.

4.15 Drip irrigation fertilization can apply fertilizer according to the fertilizer requirements of the crop. Apply more fertilizer when the absorption is large, and less fertilizer when the absorption is small. For many crops, the peak period of fertilizer demand is when the rows are closed, but people cannot enter the field for topdressing (such as potatoes, sugarcane, pineapples, etc.), while drip irrigation is not restricted and topdressing can be done at any time.

4.16 Due to the precise water and fertilizer supply of drip irrigation fertilization, the growth rate of crops is fast, and they can Enter the fruiting period or harvest early.
