Calculation for the management of water for Tree Crops (Sour Sop) during the drough season using the drip irrigration methods. Simple Pure Agro ( Grenada ) #Sour Sop Care in Drought<\/p>

To calculate the number of water tanks needed for 1 acre of tree crops with 150 trees using drip irrigation at a rate of 1 gallon per hour per emitter<\/strong>, we need to consider the following:<\/p>

Water requirement per tree per day:<\/strong><\/p>

    <\/ol>
    • Each tree needs 1 gallon of water per hour.<\/li>\n\n
    • Assume the irrigation system runs for 8 hours per day.<\/li>\n\n
    • Therefore, each tree requires ( 1 \\text{ gallon\/hour} \\times 8 \\text{ hours\/day} = 8 \\text{ gallons\/day} ).<\/li><\/ul>

      Total water requirement for 150 trees per day:<\/strong><\/p>

        <\/ol>
        • Total water requirement = ( 150 \\text{ trees} \\times 8 \\text{ gallons\/tree\/day} = 1200 \\text{ gallons\/day} ).<\/li><\/ul>

          Tank capacity:<\/strong><\/p>

            <\/ol>
            • Assume the water tank capacity is 1,000 gallons (a common size for agricultural water tanks).<\/li><\/ul>

              Number of tanks needed:<\/strong><\/p>

                <\/ol>
                • Number of tanks = Total daily water requirement \/ Tank capacity.<\/li>\n\n
                • ( \\text{Number of tanks} = \\frac{1200 \\text{ gallons\/day}}{1000 \\text{ gallons\/tank}} = 1.2 \\text{ tanks} ).<\/li><\/ul>

                  Therefore, you would need approximately 1.2 water tanks<\/strong> of 1,000 gallons capacity each to supply enough water for 1 acre of sour sop trees with 150 trees, running the irrigation system for 8 hours per day at a rate of 1 gallon per hour per emitter.<\/p>

                  Since you can’t have a fraction of a tank, you would need to round up to ensure you have enough capacity. Thus, you would need 2 water tanks<\/strong> to meet the daily water requirements.<\/p>

                  For A 5 acre plot Therefore, for a 5-acre plot, you would need 6 water tanks<\/strong> of 1,000 gallons capacity each to meet the daily water requirements for sour sop trees with 150 trees per acre, running the irrigation system for 8 hours per day at a rate of 1 gallon per hour per emitter. <\/p>

                  The goal is 6000 gallons of water. The water storage and use during the drought period should be facilitated with a timer of to reduce the drip load to about 1 to 2 hours per day with mulch using the bagass method. <\/p>

                  This will allow a 6000 gallons of water to last only 4 days at the 2 hours rate of flow leaking or dripping 2 gallons per hours.<\/strong><\/p>

                  Recommendation for Tanks:<\/p>

                  4500 US GALLON for the farm with at least 3 of those tanks will hold 13,500 gallons of water – allow for a 2 hour drip to provide up to 12 days of watering capacity for the plants.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
