What is The Difference Between Drip Irrigation Tape and Drip Irrigation Pipe?

Drip irrigation is a relatively water-saving irrigation method. Its realization requires the combination of many equipment and efforts. Among them, it includes what we are going to talk about today: drip irrigation tape and drip irrigation pipe. Drip tape and drip irrigation pipe are two different things. So, what is the difference between them?

The difference between drip irrigation tape and drip irrigation pipe is as follows:

1. The difference in appearance: the drip irrigation tape is flat without water and pressure; while the drip irrigation pipe is cylindrical without water.

2. Drip irrigation form: drip irrigation tape is generally embedded with a flat bow; cylindrical drip irrigation pipe, drip irrigation pipe and drip irrigation tape have a stable drip irrigation effect.

3. Scope of application: Drip irrigation tape is widely used in field corn drip irrigation, such as mulching film drip irrigation, mulching film drip irrigation, cotton film drip irrigation, etc. Drip irrigation pipes are widely used in greenhouse vegetable drip irrigation, blueberry drip irrigation, grape drip irrigation, etc.

4. Service life: the service life of drip irrigation tape is short, and the service life of drip irrigation pipe is long.

5. Investment: The initial investment of drip irrigation belt is lower, and the initial investment of drip irrigation pipe is higher.

6. Water output: the drip irrigation water volume of the drip irrigation belt is about 2L/h, and the water output of the drip irrigation pipe dripper is 2.2-3L/h.

7. Installation features:

Drip irrigation tape-light weight, convenient installation and management, low manual installation cost.

Drip irrigation pipe-troublesome installation. The installation of drip irrigation pipes is usually before planting, usually in the greenhouse, after applying sufficient base fertilizer and deep soil turning. Before laying the drip irrigation pipe, fill the drip irrigation pipe first, and then lay the drip irrigation pipe according to the ridge width and crop needs. After laying the drip irrigation pipe, tighten the end. Then cover with plastic film, tighten both ends of the film, flatten both sides, and then press the two sides tightly with soil.
