Design and Manufacture of a New Rail-Type Irrigation System for Modern Seedling Greenhouses

Özet

In this study, a new rail-type automatic irrigation system was designed and manufactured to provide sustainable and efficient irrigation, which is one of the most important requirements of modern seedling greenhouses. Irrigation and pesticides spraying can be done at the same time with the new rail-type irrigation system, and water/pesticides spraying pressure and irrigation height can be adjusted based on seedling type. The new type of rail-type irrigation system were achieved approximately 60% water savings compared to the old irrigation system. The new rail-type irrigation system is expected to increase seedling yield while lowering greenhouse maintenance costs significantly.
