Drip Irrigation Kits and Prices in Kenya | While agricultural and sustainable irrigation solutions have constantly evolved, drip irrigation is increasingly becoming a better tradition to irrigate crops.
It is evident in how crops mature faster and produce quality yield when grown under drip irrigation.
With drip irrigation, water is your precious resource, you can rely on it to save tons of water and turn your farm green with less water.
Advantages of drip kits
- Water conservation – Drip Irrigation lowers the amount of water used on your farm as it limits the surfaces that entirely come to contact with water.
- Fair and Balance water supply – Water equally reaches every plant in a farm. With drip tapes installed in every plant line, each plant receives equal tons of water drops.
- Nutrient dosing to plant – It is possible to supply fertilizer to crops with drip irrigation. You just must feed soluble fertilizers into the main line supply by linking a fertilizer tank.
- Weed reduction – Weeds rarely grow on drip irrigated farms unless during the rainy seasons. The lower water reaches other soil surfaces in between plant lines reduces weed growth.
- Low Diseases and pest accumulation – As weed growth is suppressed, pest and diseases accumulation get low.

Drip Irrigation Installation Tips
We are committed to conducting a one-time-proper installation of drip irrigation kits in Kenya for your farms. We are the ones to conduct the process in case you cannot do it yourself, but we must first ensure you understand how it is done so that you get prepared for it.
What we Consider
For proper layout and water supply to your farm, we always check to ensure that your land has a good terrain. As you know, drip irrigation depends on gravity for water flow, the land should allow water to flow to all parts of the farm efficiently.
Set aside flat or gently sloping land which is less rocky or hilly. Clear all bushes and trees that can make farming and water supply hard.
Drip Installation Procedure
- Prepare the land for installation. Remove any obstacles and clear the land for setup of drip irrigation.
- Dig trenches for laying pipes (Mainline and sub-mainline pipes)
- Laying mainline and sub-mainline pipes on the trenches
- Connecting mainline and sub-mainline pipes to the delivery and emitter pipes. Using connectors and fittings.
- Drill the sub mainline and attach saddle clamps for enhanced connection of sub-mainline and delivery pipes.
- Fit end caps on the end of pipes.
- Proceed to test the connection for any possible faulty connection. Open water taps and check for any errors that need correction.
Maintenance of Drip Irrigation kits in Kenya
Drip irrigation is delicate and requires proper maintenance and monitoring daily. The drip lines are prone to clogging due to silt accumulation. Clogging can lead to lower water reach to plants, which affect plant growth.
Surface drip tapes and delivery pipes are susceptible to damage from animal interference and human careless activities.
Consider the following measures;
- Flushing the irrigation system is a good practice to lower or prevent silt accumulation in pipes.
- Open and clean water filters frequently to enhance the efficiency of silt filters.
- Repair broken and leaking pipes as soon as you notice.
- Always ensure your farm is kept away from children and individuals who can damage valves and other parts of a drip irrigation system.
- It is always good to leave a 1 m navigation space to prevent stepping on the drip tapes.
