Drip irrigation is the use of pipes to send water to the roots of crops through smaller orifices or drippers for local irrigation. It is an effective water-saving irrigation method in arid and water-deficient areas, and the water utilization rate can reach 95%. Drip irrigation has a higher water-saving and yield-increasing effect than sprinkler irrigation, and can be combined with fertilization to more than double the fertilizer efficiency. It can be used for irrigation of fruit trees, vegetables, economic crops and greenhouses, and it can also be used for irrigation of field crops in drought and water shortage areas.

Generally, the pressure required for drip irrigation is less than 0.2Mpa, and the peristaltic pump can fully meet this condition. The drip irrigation system composed of peristaltic pumps can easily adjust the flow rate without any valves and sealing devices. Since the control system of the peristaltic pump has been completed very well, it can be easily used in conjunction with other equipment, such as using a time timer to control when the peristaltic pump works or when it stops. The pump head of Natong peristaltic pump has a pressure adjustment function, which can control the pressure of the system very well, and the speed of drip irrigation can be very controlled by adjusting the speed.

In the laboratory, a drip irrigation system composed of a peristaltic pump can control the flow of drugs according to the settings of the experimenter to ensure the authenticity of the experiment. A drip irrigation system composed of peristaltic pumps in farmland or greenhouses will be very flexible and convenient to use.

It is foreseeable that peristaltic pumps will have a place in the drip irrigation industry.
