Summary of Sistema de Irrigação Bubbler

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

The " Sistema de Irrigação Bubbler " YouTube video introduces an irrigation system that utilizes gravitational energy from a minimum one-meter high source, making it energy-efficient and suitable for small producers. The system can irrigate up to 24 hectares and offers cost savings due to the absence of pumping and filtration systems. The system's design, using software for installation information, ensures uniform water distribution and includes microbasins with buried emitter mangueiras and a dead cover to prevent water loss through evaporation. This system's advantages include lower costs, elimination of electrical or fuel energy, and improved water retention in the soil.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the "Sistema de Irrigação Bubbler" YouTube video, the speaker explains that this irrigation system uses gravitational energy from a source that must be elevated at least one meter high. The system operates without consuming electrical or fuel energy, making it suitable for small producers. The maximum area that can be irrigated is approximately 24 hectares, which makes it unsuitable for large areas. The system has advantages over conventional irrigation systems, including lower installation and management costs, as it eliminates the need for pumping and filtration systems. Additionally, it does not use emitter-type sprinklers. The water is conducted from the source through a main tubing to the distribution point, where the control head adjusts the hydraulic charge of the irrigation system. From the distribution point, lateral lines pass between the plant rows, and each plant has an emitter mangueira connected to the lateral line. The emitter mangueiras are partially buried alongside the laterals to facilitate cultural practices and increase their lifespan. The system's design is done using software that provides all necessary installation information, such as tube and mangueira lengths, control head height, and staking height for emitter mangueiras. After system design, installation in the field must follow the software's recommendations closely to ensure uniform water distribution. Microbasins are created around the plants to improve water retention in the soil, and a dead cover is placed in these microbasins using crop residues to prevent water loss through evaporation. This procedure also helps spread water throughout the plant's root system, preventing water from infiltrating in one spot.
