DIY Measured Irrigation Training Manual for Smallholders
Published on by Bernie Omodei, Owner at Measured Irrigation in Technology
The Training Manual is for smallholders using gravity feed drip irrigation on a small plot of land. You can automate your drip irrigation system so that water is pumped automatically from your farm pond (or from a rainwater tank, lake or river) to the header tank.
All your plants are irrigated automatically.
Using a control dripper to adjust water usage
The Training Manual will show the smallholder how to use MI (Measured Irrigation) to halve the amount of water needed to produce the same yield.
By automating your drip irrigation system you can leave your plot unattended for weeks. This will allow you to become involved in other activities away from the plot; for example, travelling to the market to sell your produce.
For pressurised drip irrigation systems, you can apply both unpowered MI and the DIY Solar Drip Irrigation Kit without Pump, provided that the drippers being used are non pressure compensating (unregulated).
