Análise da uniformidade de aplicação em diferentes sistemas de cultivo com irrigação localizada

Abstract

The growing need to leverage production in less space drives the agricultural research, making it to create technologies that seek to meet this demand. The possibility of producing vegetables in an alternative way is something that draws the attention of family of farmers and urban dwellers who wish to produce their own food. Irrigation is one of the most important practices for the success of a conventional or vertical garden, so it is critical that irrigation systems have an excellent uniformity in the water application. Thus, to evaluate the system is a primordial stage to guarantee the adequate irrigation management. This work aims to evaluate the uniformity coefficients (Christiansen, distribution and statistical coefficients) in a drip tape after 2 cycles, in two cropping systems (traditional and vertical). With the results obtained, it was possible to observe that the drip tape used in the vertical system got higher uniformity coefficients than the conventional one, ensuring that the application of water in this system was more satisfactory.
