Hdpe Pipe for Drainage and Irrigation Systems
Hdpe Pipe for Drainage and Irrigation Systems has dramatically improved our ability to install drainage and irrigation systems that control the supply and distribution of water to our plants and animals. For centuries irrigation and drainage systems have improved our ability to grow all sorts of plants under even the most severe of conditions. Deserts are transformed into gardens, swamps are dried out and the effects of droughts and floods are minimized. Regardless of whether you grow corn or rice, have a lawn or take care of a golf course, the most important thing of all is your control over the water supply and its distribution to your plants. From rice paddies to corn fields, implementing a piping system that is reliable and can endure the deteriorating effects of water and soil will give you the precision handling you need and an economical advantage you can't ignore. Using high density polyethylene pipe for your irrigation and drainage system promises new and unexpected advantages that you can't get with older more established piping materials.
Irrigation or the provision of water to the soil increases plant quality and crop yields, controls excessive water from floods or heavy rains, reduces the waste of water, and gets water to where it is needed, reduces evaporation and the increase of salt in the soil, prevents the growth of fungi and other bacterial disease, supplies water to hard to reach areas, i.e., extremely dry areas like deserts. Although the installation of a irrigation piping system an expensive undertaking, the benefits for the farmer easily outweigh the costs. With better drainage and irrigation you can increase the temperature of the soil, improve the aeration and the nitrogen content of the soil resulting in earlier germination and better root development. This eliminates planting delays resulting in a longer growing seasons and reduces soil erosion by creating better root systems.
For
quality hdpe pipe designed specifically for drainage and irrigation systems,
visit Oxford
Plastics Inc. With the recent trend towards precision farming, the
need for hdpe pipe has never been greater. More than any other investment
you can make in your farm, or even your livestock, nothing will improve
your profit margin more than drainage. Imagine being able to control the
moisture content of the soil. Not only will you be able to extend your
growing season, but improve the quality of your plants and their yields.

Advantages of Drainage
There is no doubt that a drainage system will improve your crop yield.
The implementation of a corrugated polyethylene pipe drainage system gives
you more control over the moisture content of the soil than was ever thought
possible. With Global Positioning Systems (GPS) not only can you check
the overall condition of the soil, you can see how yielding patterns improve
when moisture content is altered with a drainage system. Installing a
drainage system has a number of impressive benefits. Control over the
moisture content of the soil:
- Reduces the effect of droughts and excessive water from heavy rains or snow.
- Increases the temperature of the soil which loses its heat to excessive surface water.
- Improves aeration and the nitrogen content of the soil which results in earlier germination and better root development.
- Eliminates planting delays resulting in a longer growing season
- Removes toxic material and disease organisms
- Reduces soil erosion by creating better root systems
Advantages
of HDPE Pipe
Since the 1970s corrugated high density polyethylene pipe has been used
for agriculture drainage systems. HDPE plastic pipe is extremely light
weight, flexible, durable and corrosion resistant. These features make
it ideal as drainage pipe which has to be able to handle the corrosive
conditions, excessive loads and pressures associated with being buried
in or on top of the ground. As the pipe of choice for drainage systems,
pe pipe will exceed the expectations of the farmer who is intrigued by
the benefits of proper irrigation and drainage. As a piping material,
polyethylene's lightweight flexibility is perhaps its most valued feature.
In situations where you are hampered by weather conditions, poor field
conditions and limited access routes, a light and flexible piping system
that is easier to handle, assemble and install will save you a lot of
hard work and time.
Applications for Hdpe Pipe
HDPE plastic pipe is extremely light weight, flexible, durable,
corrosion resistant and leak tight. These features make it perfect for
implementing an irrigation system where the effects of constant water
flow and soil degradation are extreme. Its smooth interior and high flow
rates prevents clogging by dirt or deposits from unfiltered water in finely-tuned
systems like the trickle or drip irrigation systems. HDPE pipe can be
used for a variety of agriculture applications including field basin irrigation
systems, field drainage systems, road crossings, watershed spillways,
furrow or channel irrigation systems, overhead and irrigation canals.
