It's advantageous to have driplines facing upwards so that any sediments that pass the filter will settle at the bottom and not on the emitter causing blockage

As you scout for pests also check your irrigation system. Areas wetter than usual are signs of problems in the system. Blessed Sunday – at Harare, Zimbabwe

Just because Solar systems don't have operating costs does not mean it's cheap. The investment cost as well as the duty of the pumps may mean you need a bigger pump hence more panels. Think long and hard before investing lest you invest in a system that won't work for you!!!!! – at Harare, Zimbabwe

Guys we need to stick to our lane. This is evidence of an installer who does not know which side goes where. Initially thought it was just one till I checked all connections. The leakages were evidence of incorrect installation – at Mashonaland East, Zimbabwe

📈It all starts with the soil. In actual sense we farm the soil and the soil, response back, with good yields. You need good soil to grow healthy plants and get good yields. @GlobalFarmersC1 @mufarowangu2 @MudhumeniMukuru @basera_john @VPHaritatos @MoLAFWRD_Zim @agribusinesszw – at Harare, Zimbabwe

So after talking to banks yesterday I have realised most have Agrifinance schemes. So as small scale farmers are we not going for these schemes or we don't know they exists? Can banks do more to fund small scale irrigation 0.5ha to 1ha @MudhumeniMukuru @basera_john @EngChitsungo

Growth of agriculture was based on subsistence farmers when climate was reliable. Why are banks still not funding operational small-scale irrigation for purposes of climate proofing @EcobankZW @stewardbank @CBZHoldings @ZAGPInfo @MoLAFWRD_Zim @NedbankZimbabwe @HigherLifeFDN

Sometimes wat farmers need to realize is that you don't have limited water but you need to schedule it better. Poor irrigation scheduling results in a lot of negative productivity as well as loss in income due to increased operational costs.

The need to increase productivity hinges around a number of factors and to us the missing link is irrigation. Join us as we hold our Practical Irrigation Training. The drive is to be practical and hands on call on 0733090709 email [email protected] @david7zoe @TirivaviTinashe

Can this be a solution for rural farmers where the water source is not close to the house. We still need efficient systems but what do we do about security. Portable solar well pumping system

The setting up of a hybrid irrigation system which combines drip and perforain irrigation. Allows the farmer to do crops that come in rows as well as those that do not need to be planted in rows. Advantage is it suppliers more water but at less pressure requirement than sprinkler

the advice to irrigate 1hr or 1L daily using drip is terrible for most crops. This will definitely lead to crops having shallow roots (they have no incentive to have a deep root system) rather try your best to do field capacity watering and withdraw 4 some days depending on CWR
