Field Application System

The document describes various methods of irrigation, from manual to modern techniques. The simplest traditional method is manual watering using buckets to supply water to each plant. Modern surface irrigation methods include flooding entire fields or directing water into furrows between crop rows. Furrow irrigation uses narrow ditches to channel water down a sloped field. Border irrigation divides fields into strips using dikes, and basin irrigation uses flat plots surrounded by small dikes to prevent overflow. Sprinkler irrigation creates artificial rainfall by pumping pressurized water through sprinkler heads. Drip irrigation slowly releases water drop by drop through emitters placed near plants along a piped distribution system.

SIMPLEST METHOD

Manual watering
➢bringing of water
from the source of
supply, such as
well, to each plant
with a bucket or a
water can.
MODERN METHOD
Surface Irrigation
➢ is the application of
water to the fields at
ground level. Either
the entire field is
flooded or the water
is directed into
furrows or borders.
MODERN METHOD
Furrow irrigation
➢ Furrows are narrow
ditches dug on the
field between the
rows of crops. The
water runs along them
as it moves down the
slope of the field.
MODERN METHOD
Border irrigation
➢ the field to be
irrigated is divided
into strips (also
called borders or
border strips) by
parallel dikes or
border ridges.
MODERN METHOD
Basin irrigation
➢ is commonly used for rice grown on flat
lands or in terraces on hillsides. Trees can
also be grown in basins, where one tree
usually is located in the center of a small
basin.
MODERN METHOD
Basin irrigation
➢ Basins are horizontal, flat plots of land,
surrounded by small dikes or bunds.
➢ The banks prevent the water from
flowing to the surrounding fields.
MODERN METHOD
Sprinkler Irrigation
➢ With sprinkler irrigation, artificial rainfall is
created.
MODERN METHOD
Sprinkler Irrigation
➢ The water is led to the field through a pipe
system in which the water is under
pressure. The spraying is accomplished by
using several rotating sprinkler heads or
spray nozzles or a single gun type sprinkler.
IRRIGATION
SPRINKLER
MODERN METHOD
Drip Irrigation
➢ also called trickle irrigation, the water is
led to the field through a pipe system.
MODERN METHOD
Drip Irrigation
➢ On the field, next to the row of plants or
trees, a tube is installed. At regular
intervals, near the plants or trees, a hole is
made in the tube and equipped with an
emitter.
➢ The water is supplied slowly, drop by drop,
to the plants through these emitters.
