Question

In drip irrigation systems, the emission uniformity is most affected by:

• A. Pump pressure fluctuations
• B. Soil texture variations
• C. Crop root depth
• D. Ambient temperature

Hint:

Consistent pump pressure is crucial for uniform water distribution in drip systems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Emission uniformity in drip irrigation refers to the evenness of water distribution to plants. Fluctuations in pump pressure can lead to inconsistent emitter discharge rates, affecting uniformity. Maintaining consistent pressure ensures each plant receives the intended amount of water.
