Design and Development of Drip Irrigation System Software in Visual Basic
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Drip irrigation system is the method of applying uniform and precise amount of water directly to the root zone of the plants as per the requirement, through emitters at frequent intervals over a long period of time, via a low-pressure pipe network comprising of mains, sub mains & laterals. various software’s were available for design and development of drip irrigation system. In the present project, it has been attempted to design the drip irrigation system using Visua lBasic.NET as part of B. Tech (Ag. Engg) project. This attempt builds up the confidence levels of young engineers to work and design any type of irrigation system as per the need. Software for the design and development of drip irrigation system was developed with visual basic software based on all designing parameters. A sample run was made with assumed data for different crops. For Apple crop with a spacing of 15ft x 15ft requires 1 hp pump with total head of 38.5m should be operated for 2.5 hrs, flow in main line is 2.116402 lph costs about 97009 Rs. per ha. For Banana crop with spacing of 10ft x 10ft requires 3 hp pump with total head of 38.5m should be operated for 1.25 hrs, flow in main line is 4.938272 lph costs about 120990 Rs. Per ha. For Coconut crop with spacing of 20ft x 20ft requires 1 hp pump with total head of 38.5m and should be operated for 5 hrs, flow in main line is 1.20120 lph and costs about Rs. 83417 Per ha. For Mango crop with spacing of 25ft x 25ft requires 1 hp pump with total head of 38.5m and should be operated for 4.06 hrs, flow in main line is 1.532567 lph and costs about Rs. 77573 Per ha. For Pomegranate crop with spacing of 15ft x 15ft requires 1 hp pump with total head of 38.5m and should be operated for 2.5 hrs, flow in main line is 2.116402 lph and costs about Rs. 120990 Per ha. For Orange crop with spacing of 18ft x 18ft requires 2 hp pump with total head of 38.5m and should be operated for 1.88 hrs, flow in main line is 2.962963 lph and costs about Rs. 92940 Per ha.
