Drip Irrigation And Fertigation by Josefoyeniyi: 5:57pm On Oct 01, 2019
DRIP IRRIGATION AND FERTIGATION

As Dry Season is approaching and wise farmers are preparing for the period that separates Farmers from Seasonal Planters.

Drip irrigation is one of the most innovative, efficient and reliable forms of irrigation today. It involves the passing of water to the roots of plants through the use of emitters lined in a tube like pipes.
It reduces Weed growth. It also reduces labour cost.

Farmers in Nigeria are experiencing better crop yields by using drip tapes and other drip irrigation systems.

However, it was noticed that most Farmers in Nigeria do not know how to effectively and efficiently use the drip irrigation system.

Farmers make some mistakes like:

Farmers Buy Sub-standard Drip Irrigation System

In this country today, everyone sells drip irrigation system. Most sellers know nothing about drip irrigation. They mostly sell sub-standard materials and give their buyers poor advice. They attract buyers by selling poor quality drip tapes at ridiculously low prices. They often do not have a business address or any physical location. It is common to see these sellers asking intending buyers to pay down so they help them to pre-order.

Buying from this type of sellers is risky as you are likely to buy fake drip irrigation system that won’t last more than 4-5 months.

Secondly.
Using Drip Irrigation System without Fertigator

Fertigation is the application of nutrients (Fertiliser solution) to plants through the use of irrigating equipments preferably drip tapes and venturi Injector without stress.

With fertigation, a Farmer can record *100% more yield* than soil application of fertilizer. most Farmers just buy and install drip irrigation system without using any fertigating tools. This makes the Farmer less efficient.

With Fertigation, 50-70% of labour cost can be saved. Labourers won’t need to do the back breaking job of soil application of fertliser. It gives a uniform dose to each plant.
