Drip Irrigation Knowledge Hub & FAQ

Drippers may not deliver water properly due to clogging caused by dirt or sand, incorrect water pressure, bent lateral pipes, or air lock inside the system. Regular filter cleaning and flushing of lateral pipes help restore proper water flow.

Venturi Injector is used to inject fertilizers and chemicals into drip irrigation systems. It works on pressure difference and ensures uniform fertilizer distribution while saving time, water and labor.

Clogging can be prevented by cleaning sand and screen filters regularly, flushing lateral pipes, using clean water, performing fertigation with proper filtration and installing air release valves.

Filters remove sand, silt, algae and debris from irrigation water. Without proper filtration, drippers and sprinkler nozzles can clog easily which will lead to uneven irrigation and system damage.

Pipe leakage or bursting usually occurs due to high water pressure, poor-quality pipes, incorrect installation or improper use of clamps and grommets. Using ISI-marked products and correct fittings helps prevent these issues.

Yes, drip irrigation reduces electricity costs by 30–50% because it uses less water and requires shorter pump running time compared to traditional irrigation methods.

Yes, drip irrigation is ideal for polyhouse farming. It is commonly used for crops such as capsicum, cucumber, tomato, strawberry and other greenhouse vegetables.

Drip irrigation is a water-efficient irrigation method where water is supplied slowly and directly to the plant's root zone. It saves up to 60–70% water which helps improve crop yield and reduce weed growth.

Drip irrigation is suitable for vegetables, fruits, orchards, sugarcane, cotton, floriculture crops, greenhouses and landscape irrigation.
