Advantages of water-saving drip irrigation for fruit trees?

Advantages of drip irrigation for fruit trees First, increase production and improve quality. Therefore, compared with other irrigation methods, fruit tree drip irrigation has the advantages of uniform irrigation, sending irrigation water and fertilizer dissolved in water directly to the root zone of fruit trees, and meeting the water and nutrients needed for fruit tree growth in a timely and appropriate manner. The fruit quality has also improved. Second, saving irrigation water Because drip irrigation directly transports irrigation water from the water source to the roots of fruit trees through the closed pipeline system, it eliminates the evaporation and leakage losses in the process of water delivery in channels such as field runoff and deep leakage, so that irrigation water only wets the local soil in the root area of fruit trees, and also reduces the losses of soil evaporation, field runoff and deep leakage between trees compared with surface irrigation methods, which significantly improves the utilization rate of irrigation water. The results of experiments in various places show that drip irrigation saves about 50%-70% water than surface irrigation. This is of great significance to make full use of limited water resources and expand the irrigation area of fruit trees in arid hilly areas and high-lift irrigation areas. Third, it is beneficial to the growth and development of fruit trees, which can effectively promote the growth of trees and increase the synthesis and accumulation of nutrients in leaves. Fourth, the drip irrigation system saves labor in the orchard, realizing pipeline water delivery and fixed irrigation device (emitter) irrigation, which not only greatly improves irrigation efficiency, but also saves labor. In hilly areas, drip irrigation does not need to repair terraces and level the land, which saves labor such as repairing ditches, carrying water and spraying drugs, and indirectly saves a lot of labor. 5. Energy saving and low operating cost. In the case of water supply from wells or irrigation stations, drip irrigation saves water, which reduces the pumping capacity compared with sprinkler irrigation or surface irrigation, thus reducing energy consumption and operating costs. Although the operation of drip irrigation system requires a certain working pressure and consumes more energy than surface irrigation, the energy saved by drip irrigation generally far exceeds the energy consumed by drip irrigation under the condition of lifting water. 6. Salt water can be used for drip irrigation. Because of drip irrigation, the soil around the roots is always wet. Even if the irrigation water contains more salt, the capillary action of the soil can transport the irrigation water and the salt in the soil to the edge of the humid area, thus reducing the damage of salt to fruit trees. Therefore, drip irrigation can be used for irrigation in areas where the salt content of irrigation water is high and it is not suitable for surface irrigation or sprinkler irrigation.
