Do you know the composition of the cost of
drip irrigation system? Let us have a look in this article.
Although the
drip irrigation system has excellent irrigation effect and it is easy to manage, whether to choose the cost is a factor finally is the important factort that can not be ignored. Let's talk about the components of the cost of drip irrigation system.
The cost of
drip irrigation system is mainly composed of design cost, equipment material cost (including
irrigation pipes) and installation cost. In general, the smaller the area, the smaller the row spacing, the more complex the terrain, and the higher the cost. Taking the flat orchard of 66700 ㎡ as an example, the system cost with a design life of 8 years is 800 ~ 900 yuan per 667 M2 (i.e. 1 mu). Due to the different specific conditions of different orchards, the adopted design scheme is also different. Then, the cost will naturally be different.
The specific quotation depends on the terrain conditions, elevation difference, planting density, soil conditions, water source conditions, traffic conditions, fertilization requirements, system automation and other factors. For flat orchards with a design service life of 10 years, the quotation is generally 1200-1500 yuan per 667 ㎡, and that of mountain orchards is 1800-2600 yuan per 667㎡. The cost of
drip irrigation system constructed with high standard is about 2200 yuan per 667 ㎡, and the design life is 10 years, equivalent to 220 yuan per 667 ㎡per year.
After the installation of
drip irrigation, on the one hand, it can save 30-50 yuan per 667 ㎡ per year according to the 30% fertilizer saving. On the other hand, it can increase the yield and quality, so as to increase the income. Based on the 10% increase, the annual income can be increased by 120-800 yuan per 667㎡, which has not taken into account the hidden value of saving labor and ensuring high yield. It can be seen that it is very cost-effective to install
drip irrigation system for fruit trees. We can't subjectively think that it is uneconomical because of the large investment in one-time drip irrigation and without considering the comprehensive cost and benefit.
