Trickle irrigation ensures that plants have the necessary amount of moisture at all times. Trickle systems require less water, less energy, and less labor than other irrigation systems, and can deliver fertilizers to plants directly and efficiently. In the third section, readers will find specific guidelines for irrigating tree fruits, small fruits and vegetables, as well as greenhouse and nursery crops. The final section thoroughly covers the details of planning a trickle system, highlighting the information a designer needs, and giving formulas for determining water requirements, number of emitters, and irrigation time. Two appendices provide technical details about designing laterals and submains, and preventing line clogging.
