Button Dripper Irrigation in Kenya
Button dripper irrigation in Kenya involves the method of bringing water to plant root zones in an umbrella or circular flow pattern. The flow is suitable through small round plastic emitters with holes that release water sprays in small jets.
Button dripper holes are spaced in a circular pattern next to each other to form a water flow pattern that looks like an umbrella rain pattern.
Features of Button Drippers
Button drippers can be adjustable, with knobs that you can close to reduce or increase water flow rates. Others remain non-adjustable thus release water under the set flow rate.
How Button Dripper Irrigation works
Button drippers release water to plant root zones through emitter holes placed on the knobs. They supply water with low gravitational pressure thus reducing cost and needs for pumps or pressure pipes.
What matters when Choosing Button Drippers
- Flow rate – choose button drippers that meet your desired flow rate. If the water needs are high go with adjustable button drippers.
- Crop – Consider the type of crop you are growing. High water requirement crops need adjustable button drippers for easier increment of water flow.
- Terrain – consider the type of land. For hilly or sloppy areas go for pressure compensating button drippers.
- Water quality – It is important to consider the source of water. Button drippers have small emitter holes that can block when dirty water is used for irrigation. You can always use water filters at specific pipe sections to trap dirt particles.
- Pressure – In case of high-pressure irrigation systems, button drippers with pressure compensating feature are suitable.
