Estimating quantity of drip required for a farmland area??

Estimating approximately the required quantity of drip tapes to use for a farm land can be an heculin task to starters. This has been one of the reasons why many people have not adopted the use of drip irrigation on their farms. Believing that the cost will be astronomical and beyond reach.

My goal is to make driptapes as affordable and accessible to everyone just like pure sachet water! You must deploy drip irrigation on that your new farmland.

This year is our year of higher yield per hectare! Getting more yield from the land. Grabbing our pie in the amazing land-based wealths.

Working and farming more efficiently and productively.

I will try explaining in simple ways.

1. Estimate your field/farmland length. In metres.

a. Take note of the length of the farm in the shortest and longest part.

b. Take note of length of the farmland against the erosion; not along the erosion course.

b.ii. We will assume that you have noted the lengths of the beds.

c.Decide the number of driplines per bed. E.g where you wish to do stacking, you might have two rows of cucumber or pepper or tomatoes on a bed.

d. Decide/determine the number of beds/rows on the field.

Example.

The bed is 100m length.
the bed is 0.75m in width
The total beds are 40.

I'm planting two lines per bed.

The estimate drip per bed is 100 x 2 = 200m of drip on each bed.

But the beds/rows are 40 in number.

Then it is 200m x 40 = 8000m of dripline required.

But if it is 1dripline per bed, and there are 40 beds/rows. It is 100m per bed x 40 beds = 4000m dripline required.


Note: 0.75m bed width is for illustration Purpose.
Hello bro. I would have dm you but needed to quote this message. What about if one Intends to farm with sacks?

Farming in sacks can be an alternative where land availability, nearness to market or availability of labour is an issue. Irrigating the sacks follow the same principle. Length of the sack rows will give idea of total length required while the diameter of each of the sack determine the number of emitters ( water dripping points) you will install in each row.

Hope I understand your query correctly.

I hope it wouldn't be that expensive for 5 hectares of coconut plantation

When is it advisable to install drip irrigation

Is it before planting

Sack farm garden is one with sack and soil in it.
Its good for all seasons.
It works in dry season when the soil is dry and it can be easily irrigated.
