Sprinkler Irrigationfor Coffee Estates

Introuction to SprinklerShade grown ecofriendly coffee plantations are located in the picturesque evergreen forests of the Western Ghats. These coffee landscapes are known for their beauty all over the world. The natural features of coffee forests include steep mountainsides with altitudes reaching up to 4500 feet main sea level.

Our objectives are as follows. To bring about a new awakening. This should lead to the adoption of

new and superior sprinkling technologies and a trend towards

modernization.

To pump out large quantities of water and sprinkle it uniformly over a

large area in a short period of time. After all time is the essence for

efficient sprinkling. ( Quantitative and Qualitative change )

To design and evolve cost effective strategies that have a direct

bearing on farmers livelihood.

To make the entire sprinkler operation ecofriendly and labour friendly.

NEW CLEARINGS / YOUNG PLANTATIONSNewly opened plantations need to be frequently irrigated during dry months. It is crucial that the amount of sprinkler irrigation should not create water logging conditions in the field because the young seedlings are highly susceptible to excess moisture. As such the duration of sprinkling should be regulated and the intervals between irrigation schedules maintained such that the young plants and introduced tree saplings are provided with the right amount of moisture to carry on their physiological activities.

Youngplants are also prone to leaf damage if the water droplet size is big. Soilerosion is also of great concern.

SAVINGS ON COST OF LABOUR

In the course of technical progress, every possible saving on labour by the

use of efficient sprinkler systems has become an obvious necessity on account of the ever increasing cost of labour. Also due to the fact that men labourers are difficult to find during the sprinkler season, it is more appropriate to find ways and means of alternate technology that reduces the requirement of labour. In the conventionalsystem, nine impact sprinklers spaced at 80 feet by 80 feet are needed tosprinkle one acre of coffee. However, a single rain gun can cover almost 2acres, there by eliminating the laying of hundreds of lateral lines and

jets.

ADVANTAGES OF SPRINKLES Highly energy efficient, Long lasting and trouble free Since the jet sprinkles over a large area, it avoids the setting up a large

number of smaller jets. Reduces labour cost, because the pipeline within the estate is minimized

so also the number of jets. The precipitation varies with the nozzle size, but unlike conventional jets,

overlapping is not necessary. This reduces the time required for irrigation as well as the savings on

diesel. Time is the essence in Robusta sprinkling and in the eventuality of an

insufficient natural rain, more are can be covered with the help of these jets.

The jets are rugged and only require periodic greasing. Ease of installation, assembly and maintenance The trajectory of the throw of water is such that the damage to pepper vines is negligible.

Part circle adjustments, saves water from going into neighboring plantations.Fine droplet adjustment, like mist is helpful in creating a microclimate, desirous for Robusta flowering

The jet is made up of Aluminum die-casting and as such, it is finely balanced.A gear inside the jet ensures the smooth operation of the gun.
