30 Oct Acid Treatment for drip irrigation system
ड्रिप सिंचाई प्रणाली के लिए एसिड ट्रीटमेंट Drip irrigation systems are prone to clogging or blockagedue to improper maintenance, There are Several factors that are responsible for the clogging of drip irrigation system, They include Presence of Microorganisms in the system(Bacterial slime, Algal growth). Presence of Large Particles and the suspended particles (Clay and silt) in the water source, which enter and Block the Drip system. Presence of Certain dissolved salts (Carbonates and Bicarbonates, Calcium and Magnesium, iron) where they precipitate and form deposits within the lateral pipes but some times they also lead to the blockage of the emitters. Filtration of the water through the Primary (Sand Filter (open water source) and Screen Filter (Borewell)) and Secondary Filters (Disc Filter (Costly) and Screen Filter (Cheaper)) do not remove the microorganisms and dissolved salts, The microorganisms interact with the sand particles and they lead to the clogging of the drip irrigation system, To rectify the problem of clogging, Acid or chlorine (chemicals) is injected along with the irrigation water, Hence this process is called as chemigation or Chemical treatment. Acid treatment is used for Rectifying the problem caused by the Dissolved or precipitated salts, whereas Chlorine treatment is used for rectifying the problems caused by the microbial growth In the drip system, These Chemicals can be injected by...
