Isn’t porous pipe a better option as it’s a sub-surface method providing water directly to the roots of the plant. This will save a lot of water which would otherwise get evaporated. Other advantages is lower head requirement and no crop specific issues since it releases water from entire area, you can use it for any crop. You can also till the land without worrying about tape getting stuck. It’s only slightly more expensive and cheaper than drip irrigation.

newbie447,

Are there any commercial porous pipe suppliers you are aware of? I would be interested to try it out.

newbie447 · February 16, 2014, 5:12am

Sure. I can’t refer any as I’ve not used their services but as a starting point, here are a few names

indiamart.com/approtech-porous-pvtltd/

indiamart.com/pranavplastics … orous-pipe

indiamart.com/padmavati-ente … ducts.html

pinakin-plastic.eworldtradefair. … e-936.html

Also contact CSV Wardha - they seem to have developed a low cost method they call “Clay Emitter Irrigation.”

Do share any quotes / useful info you obtain.

Hi

I am using driptech in my farm for maize.
Advantages
Cheaper than most, 1.75/m, for 1 acre cost may come to Rs. 10000 as opposed to Rs. 50000 on standard jain or netafim.
Drips almost 8 lph if decent pressure. So you can run it for just 10 mins every 2 days and that would be enough. Even if the pressure is less, it still drips, for drips with inline emitters, a certain pressure is needed.
With usage of valve takeups, you can control the number of drip lines that work. If pressure is less, then you can turn off the drips till water starts flowing properly.

Disadvantages
Damages easily by rats, handling etc as material is very thin
Uniform coverage is doubtful, there is constraint to keep the lengths within 100 feet. More length will mean starting of the drip will get more water and less water towards the end.
Its so lightweight, if your crop is not very tall, it can be blown away by winds.

All said and done, for the price that it costs, you can use with smartly designing the drip network.
Dont know about this chiptech, can you post some pictures along with cost and other details like thickness and drip spacing?
Which dealer you are talking to in Bangalore? Is it Karthik Irrigation?

Dear Sir,
Please let me know your experience with growing maize using drip irrigation. We are interested since we are planning to grow maize with farmers near Salem on a contract farming basis. The farmers were asking me what would be the output increase if we use drip irrigation. Currently they get 3 to 3.5 tons per acre using good flood irrigation. The seed they use is NK-6668. Your inputs will help us in our learnings. Thank you

Anybody tried KSNM drip ?
Somewhere in the past I read about one Mr. Annaamalai who used drip in paddy cultivation.
The drip[tech guy told me that laterals may be placed at 3 feet interval since an area of about 1.5 feet would be wetted from the drip hole .
Any idea ?

sri2012 · January 29, 2015, 6:55am

There is demo plot in GKVK Bangalore(I am not sure if it still exisists). They have developed a mehod called Aerobic Paddy Cultivaion and 3 special veriety of paddy for this. it is tried and tested.

saravanakumargcses · March 11, 2015, 8:31am

The fundamental concept of Drip irrigation lies around watering around the plant roots and since onion as such being a root crop should be ideal to drip irrigate.

Chandra · March 11, 2015, 6:58pm

Possibly if you transplant.
I tried sowing along the drip and the onion plants got lost among quick growing weeds and could not be salvaged.
