Main advantages of subsurface drip irrigation.

Nowadays, the subway drip irrigation system is one of the most widely used options by farmers around the world, as it allows a better use of resources such as water, energy and fertilizers. This technique achieves a reduction in the consumption of these resources, which ultimately translates into an increase in production.

Here are a series of additional advantages to those already offered by conventional surface drip irrigation.

  • Water and fertilizer savings: water and fertilizers are applied below the soil surface in the root zone. There is no moisture on the surface, so evaporation losses are reduced.
  • Increased water productivity: Productivity gains have been reported from improved irrigation efficiency. In addition, by saving water, the ratio of kilograms of crop per cubic meter of water consumed increases. In other words, for each cubic meter of water used, the kilos of harvest obtained increase.
  • Facilitates cultivation work: The irrigation system does not interfere with the movement of machinery or agricultural work.
  • Weed reduction: The lack of surface moisture hinders the development of weeds.
  • Reduced risk of diseases caused by humidity: By reducing surface humidity, the risk of fungal diseases is reduced.
  • Subsurface drip irrigation for organic farming.
    Some of the above advantages offered by subway drip irrigation make this irrigation system very suitable for organic farming, as it allows us to carry out tillage without the irrigation system being a constraint. In addition to the improvement of plant health, which can avoid the need for certain phytosanitary treatments.
