Aimed at small farmers, Netafim India, a smart irrigation solution provider, has launched a portable drip irrigation kit that is easy to install and affordable.

The boxed portable drip irrigation kit is designed for small farmers with up to 1 acre of farmland, and installation assistance can be provided without additional labor. Officials said the kit is priced at 21,000-25,000 rupees and can be purchased nationwide through Netafim's dealer network. It is suitable for all types of crop varieties, including vegetables, gourds, bananas and papaya.

With this portable drip irrigation kit, Netafim plans to cover 10,000 hectares of irrigated land in the coming year and benefit 25,000 farmers. In Karnataka, the company intends to cover another 5% of farmer communities and cover approximately 1,500 hectares of marginal farmland under drip irrigation.

Designed to irrigate 4,500 square meters of fields, the lightweight and removable drip irrigation kit can be easily installed and removed after use for relocation in a convenient storage place. The key component of the kit is FlexNet, a leak-proof, flexible main line and manifold piping solution that can provide precise water delivery solutions, increase water savings, and increase crop performance potential by enhancing system performance.

Netafim stated that the installation of the drip irrigation kit reduces weeds and mud spots due to the perfect seal between the patented outlet and the pipe. It provides a full range of transverse connectors compatible with all Netafim systems. It says that white is heat resistant and can withstand high chemical and ultraviolet radiation.

"We understand that most farmers in India own scattered land less than one acre. Such conditions make crop planting a difficult and challenging task for them. Netafim Managing Director Randhir Chauhan Said: "The debut of the portable drip irrigation kit is the result of Netafim's continuous commitment to provide convenient technology, especially for marginal farmers to increase yield potential and productivity, while reducing costs, labor and improving water efficiency. "India, in a statement.

The company stated that the portable drip irrigation kit includes all the components required for on-site installation and operation, including screen filters, FlexNet pipes, drip irrigation tubes and connectors.
