DIMENSIONAMENTO DE SISTEMA DE IRRIGAÇÃO VIA ASPERSÃO CONVENCIONAL NA CULTURA DO TOMATE ATRAVÉS DE DIFERENTES VAZÕES DE TUBULAÇÕES

Abstract

Water is essential for the survival of all living beings, and therefore it is essential to use it consciously. Therefore, the present work aims to present the development of a sprinkler irrigation project with different flow rates for tomato cultivation. There are many characteristics to be studied in an irrigation system to prevent it from being poorly sized and becoming costly. Load loss is one of the specific variables when sizing, because it depends on other factors. This way we can see that the use of a larger diameter is only efficient if the irrigation system works during the day, when there is no discount paid for the kW/hour. Now in relation to the return on investment regarding tomato cultivation, we can see that in both cases they are paid in less than one cycle.
