Great article. Remember, filtration is vital to a good drip system. Drip can solve many water shortage issues and many companies are pushing drip, especially subsurface drip with great success. Subsurface drip tape is used extensively for tomato, cotton and alfalfa production.

It is a useful information about drip irrigation. I am a farmer and we have very large fields, before drip
irrigation system was found it was a nightmare to irrigate all those fields because where i live is a place
that does not rain so much. Now we use drip irrigation, saving so many water and it is a lot easier to irrigate
the field with that. I am trying to read everything about drip irrigation and i recommend every farmer to use that
technique, so i am grateful for everyone who gives information about it. I also found a very good guide about drip
irrigation and it may be useful too for those who want to learn more information about that;

Hi, thank you for contacting TopVeg.
You are right to say that the tape will be damaged if the reaping machine catches it. But gardeners using a hand-held fork (to dig potatoes) will also damage the tape if they are not careful.
Because of this I lay the drip line on the surface down the row, and remember where it is, so that I can avoid it when harvesting.
The evaporation loss, because it is on the surface, is insignificant.
I hope this helps

Hi, I have some questions about drip tape laid above the ground? Laying down drip tape along roots of crops, cotton
etc.
Is it more feasible comparing with subsurface irrigation?
because drip tape is low cost, and easy to lay down subsurface.
Disadvange is while we reap, reaping machine many damage the drip tape.
Hope to get your help. Thank you.
Best Regards
