Types of Driplines Systems for Sale in Kenya

Gravity-fed drip system – designed to work on gravitational pressure for water distribution in the farm. Works on a flat piece of land.

Pump-Connected Drip connection – a dripline connection that uses a pump to distribute water in the system. It is designed for large farms with uneven surface or undulating terrain.

Automated dripline connection – complex drip irrigation systems that use advanced automated systems to enhance effective irrigation. The system uses automatic controllers and valves that start and stop watering.

 Design and Installation of Driplines in Kenya

Driplines can be designed and installed on two different layouts: surface and underground layouts.

Surface drip irrigation layout: the driplines are laid on the ground or plant lines and connected to supply pipes buried underground. Works for small crops with shallow roots and lower crop requirement.

Sub-surface drip irrigation: the driplines are buried below the ground to wet the soil from below the ground. Ideal for large annual crops that develop deep root structure.

Subsurface Vs Surface Dripline Layout: Which is Recommended?

Surface dripline connection is cheap to install and maintain. The downside is the exposure of pipes to mechanical damages and harsh weather.

On the other hand, subsurface requires high cost of installation, expensive automation and maintenance. Also unreliable for variety of crops with shallow roots.

Advantages of Using Driplines in Kenya

• • Low evaporation and runoff prevent extreme water loss that may be common to furrow or sprinkler methods.

• • Constant flow rates of water reach crops because of the irrigation done in schedules and improves yield.

• • By watering precisely and on targeted intervals, moisture balance and fertilizer is achievable.

• • Cost reduction because labour needs and water bills are cut down by controllable dripline irrigation manner.

• • Automation prevents excessive or underwatering which can harm crops.

• • Flexibility of driplines enables use on all types of terrains.

• • Suitable for all regions as they are resistant to harsh weather conditions.

• • Driplines are ideal for small to large scale farms.

Types of Driplines for Sale in Kenya

Inline Driplines

Inline driplines have emitters built into the pipe at regular intervals. They’re perfect for uniform crops like vegetables. These systems are easy to install and affordable. But they work best when the water pressure is consistent.

Pressure Compensated Driplines for Sale

Pressure compensating (PC) driplines deliver equal flow rates on slope or uneven terrains at different inlet pressure rates.

Non-Pressure Compensated Driplines

The rate of water distribution is not equal, steep terrains have higher flow rates. Less effective compared to PC driplines.

Profitable Crops Irrigated by Driplines for Sale in Kenya

Driplines are best for watering tomatoes, leafy greens, onions, garlic, strawberry, watermelons, and Capsicum.

You can divide your farm into bed sections that can take 2, 3 or 4 driplines. Depending on the recommended spacing of the crop the driplines deliver adequate moisture and nutrients.

For tomatoes, kales, cabbages, broccoli and capsicum, 2 driplines per bed are applicable.

Onions and garlic work with 2-4 driplines per bed provided proper nutrients are fed to the plants.

Watermelons, and other farther spaced plants can be irrigated with one dripline on the bed section.

How to Choose the Right Driplines for Your Farm

Water Source | Water Quality

Watering plants with driplines requires use of low sediment or clear water to prevent clogging of the system. Filters are also essential, but you should also check your water source.

 Pressure

Before choosing drip accessories, it is important to determine pressure requirement to select driplines and layout that will work on your farm.  Some farms will work with PC driplines while others require non-PC driplines.

Crop types

Water requirements vary in different crops; those that require high water amounts are not suited to drip irrigation. Wide spaced plants are also exclusive because you would waste water and driplines. 

Plant Spacing

The plant spacing decides which dripline to use. Check if your plant matches 15, 20 and 30 cm driplines.

Cost

Driplines for sale in Kenya are at different prices as per the quality and brand of the driplines.

Budget Rates

Every purchase depends on the savings set aside to finance it. Before you decide which drip irrigation kit pack to get, consider evaluation of your budget. You are free to consult about all our starter pack driplines and how to purchase them.
