Santa Rosa has issued a bulletin in which they express great praise for local agriculturists and horticulturists for their intent on being successful despite the drought being experienced here of late.
Our agriculturists and horticulturists are more and more resorting to innovative systems for watering their plantations. One such system is the drip system. The drip system uses a minimum amount of water by gearing the water slowly but directly to the root of the plants.
Modern drip irrigation has arguably become the world’s most valued innovation in agriculture since the invention of the impact sprinkler in the 1930s, which offered the first practical alternative to surface irrigation.
It has been used around the world for centuries; however, it is gaining popularity today because of the world drought situations.
There are numerous benefits for this system.
* It prevents diseases from passing from one tree to the other
* There is no loss of fertilizer and nutrients since the water is applied directly to the root of the plant
* Water can be recycled and reused easily
* It makes watering plants a lot less work
Drip systems can be bought at Santa Rosa where employees provide information and explanation on the best ways to use these and of their benefits.
