Number of Drip lines per Bed
Our drip kits in Kenya can either have two, three or four drip-lines per bed. Crops such as tomatoes, sweet pepper, brassicas prefer two drip-lines per bed while for onions, we recommend three or four drip-lines per bed. Care has to be taken when designing farms with many drip-lines per bed so as not to affect irrigation pressure.
Irrigation Farm Design
Before installing the irrigation system on your farm, we always make a point of visiting the farmer or take measurements that will be key in designing the system. Generally, the farmer needs to provide the following.
- Dimensions of the farm i.e length and width
- Slope of the farm
- Distance from farm to the water source
- The position of the tank relative to the farm
We will also make a point of selecting the number of drip lines per bed depending on the crop to be grown
