Summary of Irrigador agroecológico - Embrapa Pantanal

00:00:00 - 00:10:00

In the "Irrigador agroecológico - Embrapa Pantanal" YouTube video, the speaker demonstrates a low-cost irrigation system using PET bottles. The system involves modifying the bottle's thread using a reversible tarracha (wrench) with a 3/4 inch connection. Once threaded, the system is ready for use, with the importance of using a veja rosca (washer) to prevent leaks. The video also explains how to make holes for the irrigation system using a map marker tool, with five holes per bottle and a spacing of 2.5 meters between people and six aspersors per row. The speaker also discusses setting up the irrigation system using multiple people and a water tank, emphasizing the importance of the tank's height for adequate coverage and encouraging adjustments based on individual property needs.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Irrigador agroecológico - Embrapa Pantanal," the speaker demonstrates a low-cost irrigation system using PET bottles. The system involves using a reversible tarracha (wrench) with a 3/4 inch connection to modify the bottle's rosca (thread). The process begins by removing the bottle's protective seal and attaching the wrench's larger part to the bottle's threaded side. The user then starts to turn the wrench gently to create a new thread, taking care not to damage the bottle. Once the threading is complete, the wrench is reversed, and the system is ready for use. It's important to protect the rosca with a veja rosca (washer) to prevent leaks and damage to the connection. The speaker concludes by explaining that the furos (holes) for the irrigation system can be made either completely circular or with just the necessary holes.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the "Irrigador agroecológico - Embrapa Pantanal" YouTube video, the speaker explains how to use a low-pressure irrigation system with five holes per bottle, using a map marker tool to make the holes. The number of holes and bottle size do not affect the water pressure or distance, but smaller bottles will result in lower water height. The irrigation system uses a spacing of two and a half meters between people and six aspersors per row. At the beginning of the field, the first person is placed one meter and 25 cm away from the previous person, and the spacing is measured. It is important to moisten the soil and use a brace to prevent leaks. The last person uses a cork because there will be no continuity otherwise. The tool should not be overheated or it will become too soft and lose effectiveness.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the "Irrigador agroecológico - Embrapa Pantanal" YouTube video, the speaker explains how to set up an irrigation system using multiple people and a water tank. The system involves repeating the process of adding five people to each row, and once the system is ready, it can be placed in the garden. The speaker also discusses the importance of the height of the water tank, which affects the pressure. He suggests a tank with a height of three meters and a radius of 1.50 meters for adequate coverage. The speaker also mentions testing the system with a standard height of 2 meters and encourages adjusting the height based on individual property needs.
