What is the cost of a drip irrigation system
From Audiopedia - Accessible Learning for All
The quantity of drip pipes needed per acre depends on the type of crop to be planted but the ideal one is 400m/ha. Spacing is usually done at 60cm interval but also varies with the type of crops. It’s advisable to have a tank that can hold at least 5,000 litres to ensure there is enough water for irrigation. For French beans, watering is done for 45 minutes to 1 hour intervals three times a day. Fertigation (fertilizer application through drip lines) is also encouraged when one is doing drip irrigation.
