Sprinkling pipes made of original HDPE raw material are not affected from sun rays because of ultraviolet additive in its ingredient. Our pipe systems those can prevent the wearing effect of the sun will be the shining star of Turkish farmers and Turkish agriculture, our products are in accordance with all pipe groups produced in our country and they are out of the monopoly one type standard production policy of our rivals. Our products are produced in diameters of 75-90-110 and lengths of 4 and 5 m. at pipe clipped and latched systems. There is a description of a minimal sprinkling system for our farmers below:
The definition of watering
Watering is generally defined as, giving water to the soil which is necessary for the growing of the plant but cannot be supplied by natural ways without creating an ecological problem. Nonetheless, with a more detailed definition, watering is to apply water to the soil for one or some of the purposes below.
1.To add water to soil in order to provide necessary humidity for plant growing.
2.To insure the product against short period droughts;
3.To cool the soil and atmosphere and so, to provide a more appropriate ambiance for plant growing.
4.To melt and wash the salt in the soil.
5.To decrease the harms of cracking on the soil;
6. To soften the base rock.
Because of this watering is a production factor that serves for evaluation of other growing factors, provides stability at production and is an inseparable part of condensation, for every climate condition. At dry and semi-dry regions, with watering in respect of dry production, the production can be increased up to 3-7 times if other growing factors are convenient.
The main principle in watering is spreading the water which is brought to the beginning of the field uniformly to the field with minimum loss. There are a lot of systems on- the subject of watering. The choices of one or some of these systems depend on several factors. For instance, the properness of the field’s leveling, the type of the product, the chemical and physical characteristics of soil and underground, the amount and quality of the water used for watering, the farmer habits, because of some watering methods require additional investment economical situation of the farmers, the climate conditions of the region like wind-temperature-rated humidity-frost-rain, affects watering systems. For example in leveled fields all watering systems are applicable but in unleveled fields sprinkling watering, and in regions having intense prevalent wind instead of sprinkling system, drop watering or furrow watering maybe more suitable.
Sprinkling Watering In Sprinkling Watering method, the water which is given to air under pressure from the heads of sprinkling those are placed with pre-determined distances falls on the surface of the field and it enters in the soil by infiltration and stored at the root area of the plant. This method is called as sprinkling because it is very similar to the natural rain. To give the water under pressure from the heads there must be a pressurized pipe system and it is necessary to provide the operating pressure by a pump unit or gravity if the water source is high.
The components of Sprinkling System
a). Water source.: In this method, every water source maybe used. Namely, this can be any river, lake, caisson well, deep well, pond, dam, watering channel etc. It is necessary for water to be convenient for watering by quality and not to include sediment and floating matters, otherwise these materials will cause blockage at pipes and heads.
b) Pump Unit: In sprinkling watering systems necessary operating pressure is generally supplied bu pump unit. In the conditions that the static suction height is not much centrifuge type pumps are used and in deep wells perpendicular pinned or submersible pumps are used. Pumps are operated by fuel or electric. Electric pumps are preferred because of operating easiness, , and supply of economy in facility cost and energy inputs
c) Pipe lines: Main pipe line transmits the water taken from the source to lateral pipe lines. These pipes maybe buried or kept open. But it must be preferred as buried for preventing to occupy free space and for operating easiness. Lateral pipe lines are the lines having sprinkling heads on them. They transmit the water they take from the main pipe to sprinkling heads and generally as they can be spread to soil surface also they can be spread underground in fixed systems.
d) Sprinkling Heads: These heads are placed on lateral pipe lines. The connection between lateral pipelines and sprinkling heads are provided by pipes chosen due to plant height. Sprinkling heads can be classified according to their rotation velocity, operating pressures and functions. If the head rotation velocity is less than 1 rotation/min it is called slow rotating, if it is more than 1 rotation/min it is called as rapid rotating head. In application 0.8-1.2 rotation/min heads are commonly used. Similar to this if the operating pressure is less than 2 atmosphere that it is called low pressure head, if it is between 2-4 atmosphere than it is called as medium pressure head, if it is more than 4 atmosphere than it is called as high pressure head. Systems working with 6-8 atmospheres are called jet type sprinkling head. It is possible to classify the sprinkling heads according to their functions as field and garden type sprinkling heads.
