Definitions

• the present patent application refers to "IRRIGATION SYSTEMS APPLIED ON CANEWAY", which was developed with the purpose of providing irrigation in the sugarcane field through a technique that increases the productivity and ensures the quality of the sugarcane, especially in periods. without rain when traditionally irrigated cultivation tends to decrease productivity, with the drip irrigation system this problem is eliminated and there is also no risk of crop loss.
• a positive scenario for the future of this crop is that the international market will open for both sugar and alcohol; and in In the domestic market, the flexible vehicle will grow in sales and make room for demand, along with anhydrous alcohol and other uses, as a raw material for biodiesel.
• Tolete is, therefore, a segment of the stem resulting from sectioning, performed manually with the machete, or mechanically with the harvester. When done manually, it is performed inside the planting grooves, quite irregular, leaving tips outside the grooves, which normally do not sprout. Buds develop to form a new stalk when no longer inhibited by enzyme inhibiting action produced by the apical bud. In the lateral buds, these enzymes are in latent state, whose phenomenon is called "apical predominance". When the culm is not divided into tails, there is a propensity to vegetate only the buds at the base and the tip, caused by the action of enzymes.
• the vegetative propagation of sugarcane consists in the development of the different organs that make up its nodal region.
• the buds will form the aerial part of the new plant and the root beginnings will give rise to its roots.
• Sprouting behaves differently for each variety. In some, the shoot develops before the underground; in others, the opposite is true. There are cases, however, where shoot development occurs simultaneously with underground development.
• the cane besides absorbing water, also exudes it through the cuticle and stomata.
• the most intense exudation throughout the plant is in the upper third of the leaves.
• the loss by sweating is very small, being around 1%.
• the variety itself influences the mechanism of water absorption and exudation by the plant.
• the narrow leaf varieties because they have less leaf surface, exude less water than the broad leaf varieties.
• the age of the plant also influences the sweating process, since younger plants have a smaller leaf area than adult plants. Certain varieties curl the leaves when the heat is most intense, such as a plant self-defense against excess evapotranspiration.
• irrigation Of the technologies used for food production the most known and important is irrigation.
• the objective of irrigation is to supply water to the plants in the necessary quantity and at the appropriate time, to obtain adequate production levels and better product quality.
• An adequate irrigation system should be able to provide the producer with the possibility of making use of the water resource with maximum efficiency, increasing crop productivity, reducing production costs and thus maximizing the return on investments.
• Irrigation in agriculture is an important factor in crop yield. By controlling irrigation, more optimized growing conditions can be created and maintained, thereby increasing crop yield on a given amount of land. Irrigation is achieved at a price, requiring irrigation equipment and water to supply irrigation equipment. In some parts of the world available water is scarce, so it is advantageous to use available water resources in the most conservative and cost-effective way possible.
• Irrigation of soils that do not directly support plant growth is a waste of water.
• Other forms of loss include evaporation, which varies depending on climate, temperature and relative humidity. In arid regions, these losses are substantial, leading to increased irrigation costs.
• Drip irrigation is a relatively new technology that can save water, energy and increase profits. So drip irrigation can help solve three of the most important irrigated sugarcane problems - water scarcity, increased pumping (energy) costs and falling farm profits.
• Drip irrigation is defined as a frequent, slow and accurate application of water through line or point emitters over the below surface of the at a small operating pressure (20 - 200 kPa) and at a low discharge rate (0.6 to 20 LPH), resulting in partial wetting of the soil surface.
• drip The most popular versions of drip used in sugarcane are surface and underground drip.
• surface drip irrigation (Fig. 14). May be from two types - online or integral surface drip system. The full drip line is recommended for sugar cane.
• Underground Drip (SDI): The application of water below the surface through emitters mounted on the inner wall of the (1.0 - 3.0 LPH) discharge ratio drip line generally has the same range as full surface drip irrigation.
• Effective drip technology requires more intensive application of crop, soil, climate, engineering, and economic factors than flood irrigation typically does. New management perspectives and skills are required for planting configuration, land preparation, drip design characteristics, irrigation scheduling, fertigation, operation & system maintenance.
• the filtration system is the assembly of independently controlled physical components used to remove suspended solids from irrigation water. Irrigation water filtration is vital for drip irrigation schemes to prevent blockage of emitters since the internal passages of the emitters are very small.
• Filtration system design recommendations should include location, size, specification of available suspended material sizes, filter types, and maintenance requirements.
• a primary filter should be placed after the pump and fertigation unit to remove fine and large particles from the stream.
• Secondary filters can be used from the primary filter to remove any particles that may pass through the primary filter during normal or cleaning operations. When secondary filters are used, the size of the openings is usually larger than the primary filter to minimize the attention required.
• the filter flow openings should be small enough to prevent unwanted particles from entering the system.
• the size of the filter should be based on the diameter of the emitter opening or the type and size of contaminants to be filtered.
• the filter capacity must be large enough to allow a nominal flow without frequent cleaning. Filters that are manually cleaned should require more than daily maintenance. Sizes should be the most economical with the lowest friction losses ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 bars.
• Filtering should be done using different types of filters; screen (for inorganic impurities and water of moderate quality or following primary filtration with sand and disc filters) disc (for the removal of impurities of organic and inorganic origin, algae included), hydrocyclones (for separating sand or silt from well or river water) and sand or medium filters (for open wells, open reservoirs, streams, etc.).

• sand or medium filters for open wells, open reservoirs, streams, etc.
• drip irrigation systems In most drip irrigation systems it is driven from the easel assembly to a secondary line to which the drip lines are connected. Although there are several types of drip lines that are used, they are all designed to distribute water evenly over the entire design area of a given field block. A variation in the discharge rate of the dripperline emitters that is acceptable is on the order of 8-10%.
• Drip lines vary in sender design, quality, discharge uniformity, and cost. From the outside, most lines of integral drippers look alike. Even so, there are differences between products, particularly emitters. Consistency and superior performance of an integral dripper line depend on the quality of its emitter. Several years of experience have shown that the following factors must be considered when selecting the line of drippers that should be on the surface or buried throughout a complete crop life cycle.
• Dripper lines come in a wide range of wall thickness. Construction and thickness of the dripperline should be sufficient to reduce the risk of the pipe being bent or caught by traffic in the field such as mechanical loaders, farm machinery, etc.
• Nominal diameters are 16 mm and 22 mm. A larger diameter will allow water to be supplied to a larger length of dripperline before pressure drops below design requirements. This results in cost savings of secondary lines.
• the mobile or self-propelled sprinkler irrigation system is powered by hydraulic energy, consisting of a hydraulic cannon (cannon sprinkler), mounted under a platform, which moves on the ground simultaneously irrigating. It requires a propulsion engine, a cannon-type sprinkler, a high-pressure hose (up to 500m), a wire rope or a coiled spool (depending on the type of movement) and a platform for installation.
