Sprinkler hoses are hoses that water crops by spraying water through small, evenly spaced holes.
Compared to drip hoses, sprinkler hoses spray fine particles of water over a wide area in a short period.
Sprinkler hoses are used to water crops. Often used in large facilities, sprinkler hoses reduce the burden of watering.
In recent years, watering management often includes remote control using IT technology and temperature data other than moisture using sensors.
1. Wide Area Watering in a Short Time
Manual watering requires time and labor. Sprinkler hoses can be installed once and then water can be applied evenly simply by passing water through the sprinkler hoses. Sprinkler hoses are especially effective in improving the efficiency of farming operations, especially in plastic greenhouses and large fields.
2. Control the Amount of Watering
As a result of providing the right amount of water to each crop, good growth can be achieved and yield can be stabilized. In addition, for crops such as tomatoes, limiting the amount of water given can be useful for cultivation methods that increase sugar content.
In normal watering, water pressure can cause the soil to become uneven, or the soil can bounce around and stick to crops, causing disease. Sprinkler hoses can be used to adjust the amount of watering to avoid such disadvantages.
When used in open fields, care must be taken to avoid wind effects. On particularly windy days, the reach of water from sprinkler hoses may shift, making it impossible to sprinkle water to the desired location. On such a day, it is necessary to visually check whether the water is being sprayed properly.
Sprinkler hoses are generally made of plastic tubing, such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride. In some cases, rigid tubing is used.
The construction of both ends of sprinkler hoses generally varies from product to product. Some are used by connecting directly to the water supply, while others can be extended by connecting them to each other with a screw type.
Sprinkler hoses can be installed between rows, on the ceiling of plastic greenhouses, or embedded underground.
The type installed between rows is widely used both in greenhouses and in open fields. You can choose a single-sided hole type for watering only one side from between the ridges, or a double-sided type for watering both sides, to suit your application.
In addition, if the type is installed on the ceiling of a plastic greenhouse, it is possible to spread water over the entire greenhouse. The type that sprays water in the form of a fine mist is commonly used for leafy greens and seedlings.
Sprinkler hoses can also be installed overhead if you are concerned about dryness in the greenhouse.
When selecting sprinkler hoses, it is important to choose the right one for the application. Sprinkler hoses should be chosen according to the distance from the water source and the length of the rows, and in some cases, multiple sprinkler hoses can be connected for more efficient use.
In addition, while relatively inexpensive watering tubes are easy to use, they are less durable and may deteriorate prematurely when exposed to direct sunlight. Please consider the conditions of the location where the product will be used and make a long-term plan before selecting a product.
After deciding where you want to install the sprinkler hoses, such as in a plastic greenhouse or in open fields, line up the sprinkler hoses where you want to install them and secure them with pins or other means to prevent them from shifting. After installation, connect the sprinkler hoses to a pipe or hose connected to a power pump or water supply, and water can be sprayed at any time.
If the water spray tube is directly connected to a pipe or hose, the amount of water to be sprayed cannot be adjusted. By inserting a valve or a cock in between, it is possible to adjust the amount of water to be sprayed.
