Accessories to Use with Driplines

• HDPE pipes and fittings – distributes water from source tank or river. The size recommended depends on the size of the farm. For a small farm a 32mm or 1 inch can work.
• Water Pump – necessary to pump water for discharge with driplines if the gravitational pressure is not sufficient.
• Water filter – screen or disc filter removes sand or dirt that can block dripline emitters.
• Ball Valves – controls water flow in a drip irrigation system.
• Dripline fittings – for connection of driplines and pipes.
• Fertilizer injector – feeds soluble fertilizers for supply using drip irrigation system.

Driplines in Kenya: Recommended Working Pressure, Run Length and Spacing

Driplines operate at low pressure normally gravitational but only for short run length. If the run length or the farm is big, you need a water pump to generate pressure.Recommended run length depends on the dripline emitter spacing. The run length should not exceed 100m.

Advantages of Using Driplines in Kenya

• Driplines are highly effective and allow uniform watering of crops.
• The dripline wets the root zone alone, thus saving on water.
• By wetting the plant and leaving the rest areas dry, weeds barely grow.
• Minimal fungal rot because the leaves remain dry.
• drip irrigation kit is less costly to use. It can work without need of pumping.
• Ideal for wide range of crops.

Best ways to ensure your driplines work perfect

• Use a quality water filter in your system to prevent clogging dripline.
• Install a hydrant to allow for control of irrigation in the farm.
• Flush the system frequently to remove debris which can clog the dripline.
• If you are using fertigation kit, ensure you only use soluble fertilizers.
• When installing the system consult expert technicians to ensure correct measures are followed.
