I was 15 years old the first time I did this. It was a drip bar with a crew of 4. The field was 80 acres. We had stacks of drip tape rolls on the front of the bar. Took a crew of 4 men not including the driver 7 days, 8 am to 10 pm to finish 80 acres. The land we worked was 2,000 acres. Imagine the man hours to do all that. Proud to be a farmer!!
Very nice system. What are the water requirement to irrigate 100Ha of corn and 100Ha of lucerne? Whats the estimated cost for setting up the system for 100Ha?
I use similar drip tape on surface but im wondering how do you get water thru 12"-16" of dirt pressure? Thats not even counting the packing of soil by the weight of tractors and machinery etc.
Same way a vault of a cathedral dosen't come crashing down. Any pressure is gonna try to escape to the side and away from the center, which is suppoerted by even more dirt...etc, etc.
Hello, i am curious how does this type of irigation affects the soil Ph and the salt level, doesn-t the upflow of water brings the salt closer to the surface?

how long is the allowable furnishing length of drip pipe??
I might do this if I could hire the professional installation of it by an experienced crew. Do you offer installation ?
Yes we do
Brazil ?
Hi mane can you help me
how can we cultivate the soil ? will not be any damage to the system during the cultivation process ??
Dripline is installed 12 -16" deep or 6" below deepest tillage pass. No deep tillage once a drip system is installed typically.
