AUTOMATIC ORANGE IRRIGATION SOLUTION

AUTOMATIC ORANGE

IRRIGATION SOLUTION

Oranges are highly sensitive to changes in irrigation sources. Many studies suggest that when properly irrigated, orange trees can grow 1.5 times faster than those that are not sufficiently watered. In arid regions with temperatures exceeding 37°C, the growth rate of orange fruits can double between trees that receive adequate irrigation and those that do not.

There are three basic rules in automatic orange irrigation: always keep the soil moist and irrigate whenever the soil dries out; young trees require more frequent watering; and the water demand in sandy soil areas can be three times higher than in loamy soil regions.

The most standardized and widely used irrigation solution for oranges today is using low-flow micro-sprinklers or drip irrigation tubing wrapped around the tree base to irrigate under the canopy. This technique is also applicable to most citrus crops such as pomelo and lemon.

AUTOMATIC ORANGE IRRIGATION SOLUTION

Orange-growing soil, like that used for most fruit trees, must always be kept moist. However, overwatering can lead to root rot and waterlogging.

During the dry season, farmers should maintain an irrigation frequency of about 2–3 times per week to keep the soil adequately moist.

To sustain such frequent irrigation, it’s advisable to use solenoid valve or irrigation tubing. If possible, an automated irrigation system equipped with a timer, solenoid valves, and a control unit can be installed to enhance efficiency.

Accordingly, the system consists of a pump set, filtration unit, irrigation control equipment (including the controller and solenoid valves); a main and sub-main pipeline system (typically PVC pipes); lateral lines (LDPE pipes) running along each row of durian trees; and finally, a set of sprinklers installed at the base of each lychee tree.

BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIC ORANGE IRRIGATION

Ensures trees are always watered properly and sufficiently, helping them stay healthy and thrive
Saves water
Easily expandable irrigation area as trees grow, by adjusting the radius or adding more sprinklers
Can be combined with fertigation through the irrigation system
Significantly reduces labor requirements
The system uses durable LDPE pipes and Rivulis sprinklers, with a lifespan of up to several decades
Drip irrigation is especially suitable for areas with limited water resources and when using moisture-retaining mulch.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM MODEL FOR ORANGE

Orange irrigation model using Rivulis Tornado sprinklers:

Tornado sprinklers typically have a low flow rate, commonly ranging from 30 to 50 liters per hour. These compact sprinklers are easy to install. When the trees are still young, the sprinkler heads are positioned downward; as the trees grow, the heads are flipped upward to increase the irrigation radius.

In this model, the system includes: Water source and pump; filters and valves; controller and solenoid valves; main water pipeline (PVC or HDPE pipe); sub-main lines (LDPE pipes); and the Rivulis Tornado sprinkler set (sprinkler head, sprinkler stake, water supply tubing, and accessories). All components are connected using fittings and connectors…

Orange irrigation model using drip tubing wrapped around the base of the tree.

This model is especially effective in areas with limited water resources, clay soils, the use of weed control mulch, and in arid, windy regions where drip irrigation minimizes water drift and evaporation.

In this model, the system includes: Water source and pump; filters and valves; controller and solenoid valves; main water pipeline (PVC or HDPE pipe); sub-main lines (LDPE pipes); and drip tubing kits. All components are connected through fittings and accessories…
