Agricultural Irrigation Pump, Drip
Agricultural irrigation pump is a pump that provides the necessary water for plants and trees that do not meet their needs during rainfall. The purpose of the drip irrigation pump is to distribute an even amount of water evenly over the entire irrigation area.

The need for food in the world has increased and agricultural areas have decreased. In order to meet the needs of the growing population, it is necessary to obtain maximum efficiency from the existing agricultural areas.
The sustainable use of water in agriculture is essential for the production of natural foods in an ever-changing climate. Variable amounts of rainfall, whether more or less, must be balanced.
Therefore, an agricultural irrigation pump is needed. With the agricultural irrigation pump, it is ensured that the water extracted from a place is extracted in the desired tonnage and desired quantity.
Agricultural Irrigation Pump Selection
Agricultural irrigation can be done with many pumps. The important thing is that it is a pump that can meet the need. Different types of pumps are produced for this.
Diesel and gasoline pumps can be used in areas where there is no electricity. In addition, with solar panels, submersible pumps can be operated in areas where there is no electricity and water needs can be met.
Another issue to be considered when choosing a pump is the place where the water will be extracted and the discharge distance. A pump is selected by calculating the distances that the water will be distributed after it is extracted. Each pump has a characteristic curve.
Agricultural irrigation pump curves;
- Pump delivery distance,
- The amount of water tonnage to be delivered at the discharge distance,
- How many inches the output of the pump is, HP (power) information of the pump are included.
The image above shows the types of submersible pumps. As can be seen
- Number of tiers,
- Pump output information,
- Hourly tonnage,
- tread distance height
is found. If we give an example according to this.
You have drilled a 50-meter borehole, you have searched for a submersible pump to meet your water needs of 2 tons per hour at the desired distance. You will draw water from 50 meters deep and irrigate at a horizontal distance of 50 meters.
You need a pump that can deliver 2 tons of water at 55 mss in total. The suitable model for this is a 1.5 hp submersible pump as shown below.
Agricultural Irrigation Pump Calculation
There are calculations to be made for efficient field irrigation. We should make a good calculation before purchasing an agricultural irrigation pump.
Thanks to these calculations, you can irrigate the crops you have planted in your field at the same rate, saving both water and electricity and obtain efficient crops.
So, how to calculate agricultural irrigation and what should we pay attention to when doing so? First of all, your water source (well, etc.) gives how many tons of water per hour. It is very important to determine this.
You can determine how many tons of water comes out of your well with a water meter. The amount of water passing through your well is called flow rate.
Flow rate of the drippers used. With the drippers, you can determine the amount of water you will flow per hour. Drippers are available with a flow rate of 1.6 l/h., 2.5 l/h. or more.
The dripper spacing should be determined. We can get more efficient results with the dripper spacing that you can determine on the pipe. If this distance is kept short, when a dripper malfunctions, you will not have a loss as it will not be too many meters long.
But the greater the range you set for the drippers, the greater the risk.
Finally, the row spacing is a factor in the calculation for agricultural irrigation. As it is known, irrigations are irrigated one full and one empty. Drip pipes are not laid in every row.
Now let’s make an example calculation;
Your well should be capable of delivering 55 tons of water per hour.
Your dripper flow rate is 1.6 lt/hour.
You have set your dripper spacing as 0.30cm.
0.9 cm row spacing.
Formül;
According to this formula, you can irrigate a maximum area of 9.2 decares at a time with this system. In other words, if you have a field of 30 decares, you should divide your field into 3 sections in order to irrigate with this system.
In this case, you can make an efficient irrigation process in your field with the amount of water you can get at one time.
