Greenhouse Irrigation System

Irrigation is generally the transfer of missing water that the plant cannot receive through natural rainfall to the plant root area through various methods. Plants take water from the soil through their roots in order to continue their normal development. However, in greenhouse farming, losses in yield and quality can occur frequently due to insufficient or incorrect irrigation.

For optimum plant development and control, irrigation should be done in small amounts and at frequent intervals. Since greenhouse farming requires intensive work, automated irrigation systems are preferred to prevent loss of time. Providing the water required for plant development in greenhouses by artificial means increases the importance of irrigation for plant production. For this reason, the water requirement of the business should be determined in advance in greenhouse planning, because water requirements may vary depending on the product to be grown. Some of the irrigation methods commonly used in greenhouses are as follows:

Drip Irrigation: Water is directly given to the root areas of the plants in drops through pipes.

Boom Irrigation: Water is spread evenly over the plants with a mobile system.
