Kiwi Fruit Drip Irrigation System

Kiwi fruit has very strict requirements for its growing environment: it must neither suffer from water deficiency nor be subjected to excessive moisture. It is essential to maintain a certain level of humidity in both the air and the soil, while also ensuring effective drainage, so as to provide an optimal growing environment. Drip irrigation is a commonly used irrigation method in kiwi orchards. The design of drip irrigation for water-saving kiwi cultivation involves installing a reservoir at the highest point of the orchard and laying water-delivery pipelines—typically rigid plastic pipes—along the row direction, about 25 centimeters above the ground, securely fastened to the kiwi trellis. For young trees, one drip emitter is installed per tree, positioned approximately 20 centimeters from the main trunk. During the summer peak water-demand period, the drip rate is set at 4 liters per hour.
Kiwi fruit has very specific requirements for its growing environment: it cannot tolerate drought, yet excessive moisture is equally detrimental. It is essential to maintain a certain level of humidity in both the air and the soil while ensuring effective drainage, thereby providing an optimal growing environment for kiwi.

Water-Saving Irrigation for Kiwifruit
Design of drip irrigation:
Drip irrigation . Typically, a water reservoir is constructed on higher ground within the park, and water supply pipelines are (Usually made of rigid plastic tubing ) Along the travel direction, from the ground 25 About one centimeter in size, secured to the kiwi vine support. One drip emitter per young tree, positioned approximately 20 centimeters. During the summer peak water usage, at a rate of one drop per hour 4 The water level rises slowly—just a few drops are enough. Day after transplanting 2–3 years, per tree 2 A drip emitter is distributed on both sides of the main trunk, approximately 50 Centimeters, dripping per hour 4–10 Rise. When mature trees are subjected to severe drought due to poor soil water retention, the drip irrigation emitter flow rate can be increased or the drip rate can be accelerated. During periods of extreme drought, mature trees should be irrigated at a rate of approximately per day per square meter of crown projection area. 4–5 liters of water, approximately per plant per day 50–100 About one meter of water rise.
