Introduction to Drip Tape LAY-FLAT LIKE TAPE EMITTER ATTACHED INLINE COMPACT ROLL DETERMINED HOLE SPACING
Specification • Diameter 16mm • Spacing 20cm, 30cm up to 200m • Thickness 0.2mm (same tensile strength as cable insulator) • Flow rate 2.9L/H
WHY DRIP TAPE?: Water Saving • Drip tape 2.9 L/H, sprinkler 10L/H • Drip tape save more than 75% water • 4-6 platoons with drip irrigation
USD0.05 per meter, fitting 0.5 per unit USD0.5 per pcs, plus fittings 0.5 per point WHY DRIP TAPE?: Cost Saving ***Please note that price here is not updated and the purpose is to compare in general ***
WHY DRIP TAPE?: Cost Saving • Assume: • area of 20m x 20m • row spacing 2m Need: -main pipe 20m -drip tape 20m x 10rows = 200m -20 joints • Investment on drip tape: • Drip tape 200m x USD0.05 = USD10 • 20 joints x USD0.5 = USD10 • Total Investment = USD20
WHY DRIP TAPE?: Cost Saving • Assume: • area of 20m x 20m • row spacing 2m = 10 rows • Sprinkler coverage 2m Need: -main pipe 20m -sub main pipe 20m x10 rows = 200m (50 lines) -5 sprinklers per row x10 rows = 50pcs -50 joints • Investment on sprinkler: • Sub main pipe 50 lines x USD1 = USD50 • Sprinkler 50pcs x USD0.5 = USD25 • 50 joints x USD0.5 = USD25 • Total Investment = USD100
WHY DRIP TAPE?: Productivity • Avg. 20 Tons per Rai • 1 Rai = 1600 m2; 1 Acre = 2.5 Rai = 4000m2 • 50 Tons per Acre (Double more than usual) • Easy to install: save labor cost and time • VDO
Sugar Cane: Drip Irrigation Demo • 8-12 months • Give Water on Day1 and wait 30 days • Month 2 – 8 Give Water Everyday • Month 8-12 No Water to Increase Sweetness • CCS 11-14%
