Local Irrigation & Reticulation Systems in Blanchetown SA

Potential problems with water irrigation systems

While effective irrigation over the entire crop growth process can provide several important benefits, the potential drawbacks include:

• Under-watering: This can reduce the yield, size and quality of the crop.
• Uneven watering: Garden sprinkler irrigation systems sometimes drip more water in certain areas. Uneven watering may cause some crops to grow faster. This may cause the crop to impede the growth of other crops or mature too early.
• Over-watering. This may cause soil erosion, weed growth, salinity problems and reduced quality of the crop. Over-watering is an unnecessary cost that can cause large issues with the crops and the fertility of the land.

To prevent unintended consequences:

• Develop a good knowledge of reticulation and drip irrigation systems, as well as your crops and land.
• Observe your plants and the soil to estimate how much water is needed.
• Actively check the weather and plan for rainfall or dry spells accordingly.
