Single Kothari Drip Irrigation System - Multiple Crops
Date: 28-10-2021Fix Drip Per Area – 5 ft Spacing of Inline (40 cm Dripper Spacing & 2 LPH Dripper)

Irrigation of crops through Drip Irrigation Systems is a part & parcel of the present-day agriculture industry. Many farmers constantly shift their Drip Irrigation Systems from their fields to the other plots after harvesting. This practice increases the wear and tear of the Drip Irrigation Systems and reduces their life. Given below are a few pointers that can make your Drip irrigation Systems durable and long-lasting:
- Keeping the system fixed in a plot for several years
- Less human interference
- Keeping the sub-mains at one end of the field
- Keeping the Control Valves outside the field
- Designing the Inline spacing& dripper spacing to match the system for multiple crops
- Using good quality systems like the ones from Kothari Drip Irrigation System Manufacturers and Suppliers in India.
Inline spacing & crop spacing are two important factors that should fit well with each other. The inline spacing should be done in a way that the maximum water requirement of the crop is fulfilled. If Drip Irrigations Systems are designed to match the spacing of multiple crops, it will add to increasing the life of the Drip Irrigation System.
Considering all factors above, you can go with a 5 ft (1.52mtr) inline, spacing with inline specification of 16mmx40cmx2 LP. An inline with the above specifications can be suitable for below mentioned crops
Sugarcane: With a single crop row spacing of 5 ft.
Onion: The raised bed method can be used with 8 rows of Onions on bed with the same inline spacing of 5 ft (as shown in the diagram below).
Ginger : For ginger as well, the same raised bed method with 2 rows of Ginger on bed with inline spacing of 5 ft (as shown in figure below).

Wheat: The same method where four lines of wheat are planted on a raised bed with a single inline on a bed with an inline spacing of 5 ft.

Green Gram: Using the same method, two lines of green gram can be planted on a raised bed with a single inline on a bed with an inline spacing of 5 ft unlike shown in the plantation figure of Ginger.
Onion Seed: Two lines of onion seeds can be planted raised on a bed with a single inline having an inline spacing of 5 ft unlike shown in the plantation figure of Ginger.
Potato: Either the plantation can be in row with a width of 2.5 ft & with one inline for two rows of potato. Here, the inline spacing will remain at 5 ft.
OR
Potatoes can be planted on raised bed with two lines of potato with a single inline on a bed with an inline spacing of 5 ft.
Soyabean: Soya bean can be planted with 4 lines of Soya bean on a raised bed with a single inline on a bed with inline spacing of 5 ft as shown in the figure of Wheat.
You can plan multiple crops in such a way with hassle-free single Drip Irrigation System Manufacturers and Suppliers in India, that are fixed in a single plot without shifting, which results in extending the life of the Drip System.
