The emitters can be installed into the tubing by hand to water a specific tree or plant. Also used is emitter tubing which has drip emitters installed at the factory on a specific spacing to reduce installation costs. Drip systems can be installed above ground or can be buried to reduce damage to the tubing. Drip tape is a type of drip irrigation which has drip emitters installed in a very thin tube which is shipped flat in coils or rolls. The emitters are spaced from 6 to 12 inches apart. Drip tape is usually used to irrigate vegetable crops and gardens but can be buried to irrigate crops such as cotton or corn. ]]> 2016-08-21 01:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dkarnold/13r0j8jxm0zi/wish/119031315 dkarnold https://padlet.com/dkarnold/13r0j8jxm0zi/wish/119031327 is a form of irrigation that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of many different plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters.

• Furrow Irrigation – Irrigation water is directed down furrows that have usually been graded to a specific gradual slope for the most uniform application. Water to the furrows is supplied by above-ground PVC pipe with an opening called a “gate” at each furrow. The opening of the gate can be varied to adjust the flow to the furrow. In some cases, a large diameter thin wall poly pipe is used and a hole is punched to divert water to each furrow.
• Graded Border Irrigation – Irrigated water is directed down a narrow strip of a field with raised earth borders on each side. The length of the border is graded to a specific gradual slope for the most uniform application. Water is usually supplied to the high end of the border from an underground pipeline with a riser and valve.
