I. Characteristics of the Drip Irrigation Tape System Water-saving, labor-saving, yield-increasing, and income-enhancing. During irrigation, water does not move through the air, does not wet the leaves, and does not evaporate from soil surfaces outside the effective wetting zone; therefore, direct losses due to evaporation are minimal. Water application is easy to control, eliminating surface runoff and deep percolation. As a result, drip irrigation saves 35–75% of water compared with sprinkler irrigation, opening up a new avenue for water management in mountainous areas where water resources are scarce. Moreover, since plants receive adequate water supply and weeds are less likely to thrive, competition for nutrients between crops and weeds is greatly reduced, leading to a decrease in weeding labor. In addition, the crop root zone can be kept
I. Sprinkler tape System Features
Water conservation, labor savings, increased yields, and higher incomes. During irrigation, water does not move through the air, does not wet the leaves, and does not evaporate from soil surfaces outside the effective wetting zone; thus, direct losses due to evaporation are minimal. Water application is easy to control, eliminating surface runoff and deep percolation. Consequently, this method saves more water than sprinkler irrigation. 35-75% . This has opened up a new approach to water conservancy in mountainous areas characterized by scarce water sources and water resource shortages. Since there is insufficient water supply among plants, weeds are less likely to thrive, thereby significantly reducing competition for nutrients between crops and weeds and decreasing the labor required for weeding. Moreover, because the root zones of crops can maintain optimal water and fertilizer conditions, yields can be substantially increased. Secondly, Sprinkler tape The system incurs high costs. Due to the presence of impurities and mineral deposits, the capillary tubes become clogged; Sprinkler tape Its uniformity is difficult to ensure. These are all obstacles to the large-scale promotion of drip irrigation technology at present. Currently, it is generally used for economic crops such as vegetables, fruits, tea, flowers, and medicinal herbs.
II. Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation Tape Difference from micro-sprinkler irrigation
(1) Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation Tape Technology: Drip irrigation is an irrigation method and technique in which low-pressure irrigation water is conveyed through a low-pressure distribution network to a pipeline within the facility and to emitters installed on that pipeline, where it is delivered in a uniform and precise manner directly onto the soil surface near the crop roots or into the soil layer where the root system is located. Drip irrigation is classified as a form of localized irrigation.
(2) Micro-sprinkler irrigation is an irrigation method and technology that uses miniature sprinklers to deliver pressurized water through a network of supply and distribution pipelines directly into the facility, evenly and precisely spraying the water onto the foliage of each plant or onto the soil surface around the plant roots. Micro-sprinkler irrigation can be implemented as either localized irrigation or integrated irrigation.

III. Advantages of Automated Fertilization Technology and Drip Irrigation Tape
Fertigation is an advanced agricultural technique that integrates fertilization with irrigation. It involves applying solid or liquid fertilizers through a pressurized irrigation system to produce irrigation water that meets the nutrient requirements of crops.
1. Conserve water and fertilizer, and improve fertilizer use efficiency. Irrigation and fertilization with these systems require slightly more water than conventional surface irrigation. In protected cultivation, drip irrigation and microirrigation can significantly reduce water consumption. 30%-40% Compared with conventional fertilization, fertigation offers the advantages of timely nutrient application, enhanced nutrient uptake by crops, and higher fertilizer use efficiency, typically resulting in reduced chemical fertilizer consumption. 30%-50% , increase production 10%。
2. Simplify field fertilization operations and reduce labor intensity. Only by adding some essential equipment can automated fertilization be achieved. Soluble fertilizers can be delivered to the soil via irrigation water, minimizing labor and helping to prevent crop ( Especially crops grown in greenhouses. ) Roots, stems, and leaves are damaged during the growing season due to conventional fertilization.
3. Irrigation and fertilization are applicable to many crops. Based on the characteristics of irrigation-fertilization technology and in conjunction with China’s agricultural production practices and the distribution of natural resources,
4. Preventing soil compaction and environmental pollution. Drip irrigation tapes enable precise control of both irrigation water application and fertilizer application, thereby minimizing leaching of chemical fertilizers; in rain-intensive rainwater-harvesting agricultural areas, farmers engage in small-scale cultivation of grain and oil crops.
