 WHAT IS PRECISION
IRRIGATION SYSTEM?
• ONE EFFECTIVE WAY TO APPLY WATER TO
CROPS PRECISELY AND EFFICIENTLY IS
WITH A PRECISION IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
UTILIZING SENSORS, DATA ANALYSIS,
AND AUTOMATION, IT PROVIDES THE
APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF WATER AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME TO THE APPROPRIATE
LOCATION, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE
FIELD'S CONDITIONS AND THE CROPS'
UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS.
 FOGGER SYSTEM.
INTRODUCTION:
FOGGERS ARE MECHANISMS THAT RELEASE
WATER IN THE FORM OF VERY SMALL
DROPLETS THAT ABSORB EXCESS HEAT,
REMOVING IT FROM THE AIR, THUS CAUSING
THE TEMPERATURE TO DROP. THIS SYSTEM CAN
REDUCE THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE BY 5-10
DEGREES CELSIUS, DEPENDING ON THE
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY.
 FOGGER SYSTEM
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
THE PROBLEM WITH FOGGER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS IS THAT THEY OFTEN STRUGGLE TO
PROVIDE ADEQUATE WATER COVERAGE AND DISTRIBUTION TO PLANTS OR CROPS. FOGGERS
DISPERSE WATER IN THE FORM OF FINE DROPLETS, WHICH CAN EASILY BE INFLUENCED BY
WIND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. AS A RESULT, THE WATER DROPLETS MAY NOT
REACH THE DESIRED TARGET AREA OR MAY EVAPORATE BEFORE ADEQUATELY IRRIGATING THE
PLANTS.FURTHERMORE, FOGGER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL TYPES
OF PLANTS OR SOIL CONDITIONS. SOME PLANTS MAY REQUIRE A MORE DIRECT AND PRECISE
FORM OF IRRIGATION, SUCH AS DRIP IRRIGATION OR SPRINKLERS, TO ENSURE PROPER WATER
PENETRATION AND ROOT HYDRATION.THESE ISSUES LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS AND
EFFICIENCY OF FOGGER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS IN PROVIDING OPTIMAL WATER DISTRIBUTION
FOR HEALTHY PLANT GROWTH.
 FOGGER SYSTEM
OBJECTIVES:
• MAINTAIN HUMIDITY LEVELS IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT FOR THE GROWTH OF PLANTS

• TO PROMOTE THE PROPER GROWTH OF PLANTS AND MAINTAINING THE RIGHT LEVELS OF
MOISTURE FOR THE SOIL.

SIGNIFICANCE:
• FOG IS AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF MOISTURE FOR NATURAL VEGETATION. IT CAN BENEFIT
CROPS THROUGH ITS CONTRIBUTION IN WATER BALANCE MAINTENANCE.
 DRIP IRRIGATION

INTRODUCTION:
DRIP IRRIGATION IS A WATERING SYSTEM THAT
DELIVERS WATER DIRECTLY TO THE BASE OF PLANTS,
MINIMIZING WATER WASTE. MATERIALS NEEDED
INCLUDE DRIP TUBING, DRIP EMITTERS, MALE
VALVE/FEMALE VALVE, BACKFLOW PREVENTER,
FILTERS, CONTROL VALVE AND MAIN LINE.
 DRIP IRRIGATION
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

• HOW DOES THE INITIAL COST OF SETTING UP A DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM?

OBJECTIVES:

• THE DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM ARE TO SAVE WATER BY DELIVERING IT DIRECTLY TO PLANT ROOTS, PROMOTE
HEALTHIER PLANTS, ENSURE EFFICIENT WATER DISTRIBUTION, OPTIMIZE RESOURCES LIKE TIME AND LABOR,
REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, AND ACHIEVE COST SAVINGS THROUGH IMPROVED AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTIVITY. AS FOR THE INITIAL COST, SETTING UP A DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM INVOLVES EXPENSES FOR
DRIP LINES, EMITTERS, FILTERS, PUMPS, ETC. WHILE THE UPFRONT INVESTMENT CAN BE HIGHER THAN
TRADITIONAL METHODS, THE LONG-TERM BENEFITS, THE INITIAL COSTS DUE TO WATER SAVINGS AND
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY.
• SIGNIFICANCE:

A DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM LIES IN ITS ABILITY TO CONSERVE WATER, ENHANCE PLANT HEALTH, AND IMPROVE OVERALL
EFFICIENCY IN AGRICULTURE. IT HELPS SAVE WATER BY DELIVERING IT PRECISELY TO PLANT ROOTS, PROMOTES
HEALTHIER PLANTS THROUGH CONTROLLED HYDRATION, AND CONTRIBUTES TO RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION, MAKING IT A
SUSTAINABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR IRRIGATION.
 RAIN PIPE

INTRODUCTION:
RAIN PIPE IS ALSO NAMED AS SPRINKLER HOSE,
RAIN TAPE, RAIN HOSE, MICRO IRRIGATION SPRAY
TUBE, PERFORATED TUBE ETC. IT IS A FLAT PE
HOSE WITH LASER PUNCHED HOLES TO SPRAY
WATER MISTILY. RAIN PIPE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS
A LOW COST AND HIGH EFFICIENT FARM QUICK
IRRIGATION SOLUTION. IT IS EASY TO INSTALL,
MAINTAIN, REALLOCATE AND WORKS WITH LOW
WATER PRESSURE TO SAVE LABOR AND ENERGY.
 RAIN PIPE
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

FAILURE TO PROPERLY OPERATE AND MAINTAIN IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CAUSES PROBLEMS THAT CAN
LEAD TO IMPROPER WATER APPLICATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE CROP YIELD LOSSES, INCREASED ENERGY
USE, PLANT DISEASE, AND EVEN NITROGEN LOSSES DUE TO LEACHING OR SURFACE RUN-OFF. AS TIME
PROGRESSED, THE USE OF WATER POWER WAS REPLACED WITH HYDRAULICS AND ELECTRIC MOTORS.
THE BEGINNING OF THE 21ST- CENTURY SAW THE INTRODUCTION OF STATE OF THE ART PRECISION
IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. THESE NEW, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES WERE ABLE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
SUCH VARIABLES AS PLANT IRRIGATION NEEDS.
 RAIN PIPE
OBJECTIVES:

•TO HIGHLIGHT THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF RAIN PIPE IRRIGATION, INCLUDING LOWER INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE COSTS, MAKING IT MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR SMALL-SCALE FARMERS.

• TO PREVENT WATER RUN-OFF THROUGH MORE EFFICIENT WATER USE.

• TO REDUCE THE NEED FOR HUMAN LABOR.

SIGNIFICANCE:

RAIN HOSE HAS MANY ADVANTAGES, SUCH AS LOW COST, CONVENIENT LAYING AND USE, AND SIMPLE
MAINTENANCE. COMPARED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLOOD IRRIGATION METHOD, THE RAIN PIPE
IRRIGATION CAN BRING A VERY SIGNIFICANT EFFECT OF INCREASING PRODUCTION, AND CAN ALSO
EFFECTIVELY AVOID THE PROBLEMS OF SOIL COMPACTION, FIELD RUNOFF, SOIL EROSION, AND
FERTILIZER EFFICIENCY REDUCTION THAT MAY BE CAUSED BY FLOOD IRRIGATION. FARMERS WITH
CLOSELY SPACED CROPS WITH LOW HEIGHT CAN GREATLY BENEFIT FROM THIS METHOD OF IRRIGATION.
 SUB IRRIGATION
INTRODUCTION:
A SUB IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS A METHOD OF IRRIGATION
WHERE WATER IS DELIVERED TO THE PLANT ROOT ZONE
FROM BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE SOIL. THIS IS IN
CONTRAST TO TRADITIONAL IRRIGATION METHODS,
WHICH DELIVER WATER TO THE TOP OF THE SOIL
SURFACE. SUB IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CAN BE USED IN A
VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING AGRICULTURE,
HORTICULTURE, AND LANDSCAPING.
 SUB IRRIGATION
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

TRADITIONAL IRRIGATION METHODS CAN BE INEFFICIENT, LEADING TO WATER WASTE AND

RUNOFF. THEY CAN ALSO BE LABOR-INTENSIVE AND REQUIRE REGULAR MONITORING.
ADDITIONALLY, TRADITIONAL IRRIGATION METHODS CAN LEAD TO PROBLEMS SUCH AS SOIL
EROSION AND NUTRIENT LEACHING.
 SUB IRRIGATION
OBJECTIVES:

• TO CONSERVE WATER: SUB IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CAN CONSERVE WATER BY DELIVERING WATER DIRECTLY TO THE
ROOT ZONE, WHERE IT IS MOST NEEDED BY PLANTS. THIS CAN HELP TO REDUCE WATER WASTE AND RUNOFF.

• TO IMPROVE PLANT HEALTH: SUB IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CAN IMPROVE PLANT HEALTH BY PROVIDING A MORE
CONSISTENT MOISTURE LEVEL AND REDUCING THE RISK OF SOIL EROSION AND NUTRIENT LEACHING

SIGNIFICANCE:

SUB IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CAN HELP TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH TRADITIONAL IRRIGATION
METHODS. THEY CAN CONSERVE WATER BY DELIVERING WATER DIRECTLY TO THE ROOT ZONE, WHERE IT IS MOST
NEEDED BY PLANTS. THEY CAN ALSO REDUCE LABOR COSTS BY AUTOMATING THE IRRIGATION PROCESS.
ADDITIONALLY, SUB IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CAN HELP TO IMPROVE PLANT HEALTH BY PROVIDING A MORE
CONSISTENT MOISTURE LEVEL AND REDUCING THE RISK OF SOIL EROSION AND NUTRIENT LEACHING.
