Advantages and Disadvantages of Subsurface Drip Irrigation
The advantages and disadvantages of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) as compared to alternative irrigation systems are conceptually discussed. Each category (advantages and disadvantages) is subdivided into three groups: 1) Water and soil issues; 2) Cropping and cultural practices, and 3) System infrastructure issues. The adaptation and adoption of SDI systems into diverse cropping systems, geo...
متن کاملAdvantages and Disadvantages of Subsurface Drip Irrigation
Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) applies water directly to the crop root zone using buried polyethy lene tubing, also known as a dripline, dripperline, or drip tape (Figure 1). Driplines come in varying diam eters and thicknesses in order to maintain acceptable irrigation uniformity for different field lengths. Smaller diameter driplines are used when short lateral lengths are required. As la...
متن کاملEconomic Analysis of Subsurface Drip Irrigation System Uniformity
As more subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) systems are being installed throughout the plains of Texas for cotton production, irrigators are concerned about the high cost of installation and the potential benefits of alternative designs. A field study was conducted at the Texas AgriLife Research facilities at Halfway, Texas, to document the agronomic impacts of distribution uniformities on cotton ...
متن کاملComparison of Subsurface Drip Irrigation Uniformity Designs on Cotton Production
One of the biggest obstacles to the widespread adoption of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) on the High Plains of Texas is the high cost of initial installation. In some cases, SDI costs can be reduced if systems are designed using lower irrigation uniformity standards. The question becomes “what is the cost in terms of cotton lint yield of lowering the uniformity standards for SDI design?” A S...
متن کاملDesign Considerations for Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) Systems
Gary A. Clark Research Irrigation Engineer Quick Facts Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is a low-pressure irrigation system that uses polyethylene driplines that are permanently buried below the soil surface. Water drips to the surrounding soil through built-in emitters (specialized small openings). SDI places water directly into the root zone of the crop. It may improve yield due to high appli...
