Abstract:
A drip irrigation emitter with an anticlogging attribute. In the case of multi season crops, the lifespan of the drip irrigation pipe and the installation as a whole must follow the life span of the crop itself. Commonly, drip irrigation installations sometime in their life span get clogged and are thus rendered unusable due to the clogging occurring in the drip irrigation emitters themselves. Despite the use of filtering systems for the irrigation water, objects/dirt of miniscule cross-sectional areas are carried with the water that cannot be filtered at the filtering systems, thus entering the drip irrigation pipe and reaching the labyrinths of the individual emitters. This issue is catastrophic for the cultivation as irrigation of the crop is not performed uniformly leading to lower yield and income loss and possibly leading to the total loss of the plantation and the unavoidable replacement of the drip irrigation pipes.
