Edible Fungus Disease Control Methods and Greenhouse Flower Production Irrigation Techniques

Sprinkler irrigation, also known as artificial rainfall, is a semi-automated irrigation method that uses sprinkler equipment to spray water under high pressure through nozzles into the air, where it falls to the ground. Sprinkler irrigation can be carried out simultaneously with management practices such as foliar fertilization and chemical pest and disease control. It offers advantages such as water conservation, easy control, and labor savings with high efficiency. It does not damage soil structure, can wash dust off plant surfaces, and regulates the microclimate, making it suitable for all types of terrain. However, its equipment investment is relatively high, and it cannot be used in windy areas or during windy seasons. When applying sprinkler irrigation, the droplet size must be appropriate.

Building on conventional sprinkler irrigation technology, micro-sprinkler technology has gradually begun to be promoted in areas with the right conditions for greenhouse flower production. Micro-sprinkling is a highly efficient and economical sprinkler irrigation technique. The micro-sprinkler system is designed according to the characteristics of horticultural plant greenhouse production and is particularly suitable for large-scale facility production of various flowers and vegetables. The micro-sprinkler system uses an overhead water hose, providing a high degree of water atomization. When spraying, it is like a continuous gentle rain, unlikely to damage various plants, and it can increase plant photosynthesis and promote crop growth. It saves both water and labor, and can be combined with fertilizer and pesticide spraying without causing soil erosion or loss of pesticides and fertilizers.

In summary, micro-sprinkling has the following advantages: First, the degree of atomization is excellent, the coverage range is large, humidity is sufficient, and the capabilities for heat preservation and cooling are strong, increasing yield. Second, the cost is low, the one-time investment is recovered quickly, and installation is easy and quick. Third, it features an anti-drip design, saving time, water, and labor, and can be combined with automatic pesticide spraying and foliar fertilization. Fourth, it has a long service life, and the nozzles are easy to replace. Fifth, it can also be applied to orchard sprinkler irrigation (such as lychee and longan), spraying evenly on plant leaves and fruits. In short, the micro-sprinkler system overcomes the various shortcomings of the previous method of dragging hoses for watering in greenhouse production, and is simple and practical.
