AUTOMATIC SWEET POTATO IRRIGATION SOLUTION

AUTOMATIC SWEET POTATO

IRRIGATION SOLUTION

Farmers always aspire to increase yields and reduce costs, thereby improving their income.

In reality, the yield of sweet potatoes heavily depends on proper and sufficient water supply. Sweet potatoes are highly sensitive to irrigation—both under-watering and over-watering significantly affect their yield and quality.

Drip irrigation for sweet potatoes can reduce water usage by up to 50%, while increasing yield by approximately 25% compared to sprinkler irrigation.

AUTOMATIC SWEET POTATO IRRIGATION SOLUTION

Sweet potatoes can be irrigated using various methods such as drip irrigation, sprinklers, or surface irrigation.

According to FAO recommendations, sweet potatoes require 500–700 mm of water over their growing period of approximately 120–150 days, depending on the climate conditions.

Water demand is generally lower during the early growth stages and increases gradually as the plants mature, especially during the tuber development phase.

During winter, sweet potatoes can be irrigated twice a week (depending on rainfall), whereas in dry periods, farmers may need to water more frequently. Additionally, sandy soils require more frequent irrigation than loamy soils.

It is important to always keep the soil moist. To optimize yields, the total available soil moisture should not drop below 30–50%. However, over-irrigation can lead to erosion, increased disease risk, water wastage, higher pumping energy costs, nitrogen leaching, and reduced crop yields.

BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIC SWEET POTATO IRRIGATION

Does not break soil structure
Maintains consistent soil moisture
Saves water
Allows fertilization during irrigation
Increases yield and quality

IRRIGATION SYSTEM MODEL FOR SWEET POTATO

Sweet potato drip irrigation model.

Drip irrigation is considered the most suitable and effective method forpotato cultivation. The main equipment required includes a pump, main water supply pipes, and drip lines. All components are readily available, affordable, and easy to install.

This method also requires low water pressure, with low flow rates at each emitter, helping to save both water and energy.

In this model, the system includes: water source, pump; filter, valves; controller, solenoid valves (if full automation is needed); main water pipes (PVC or HDPE); drip lines; connection accessories…
