Greenhouse Irrigation
Woodburn Area nurseries use 4 basic types of greenhouse irrigation systems
Solid-set Sprinklers
Overhead Spray Emitters
Mist Systems
Boom SpraySlide3
Greenhouse Irrigation
Solid-set Sprinklers
Used for large volumes of water
Suitable for established plants that can tolerate overhead watering with large dropletsSlide4
Greenhouse Irrigation
Solid-set Sprinklers
Primarily used for containerized plants 4” and larger
Plants with large leaves or canopies can block waterSlide5
Greenhouse Irrigation
Microspray
Emitters
Great for sensitive plants
Allows for precise wateringSlide6
Greenhouse Irrigation
Microspray
Emitters
Efficient & accurate
Reduces waste
Minimizes weed germinationSlide7
Greenhouse Irrigation
Mist Systems
Used mostly for cutting & seed propagation
High humidity
Frequent, short
wateringsSlide8
Greenhouse Irrigation
Boom Spray Systems
Large volumes of gentle spray
Precise delivery
Often used on cuttings and annual productionSlide9
Greenhouse Irrigation
Boom Spray SprinklersSlide10
Greenhouse Irrigation
Controllers
Allow growers to schedule irrigation
New technology ties controllers to computers and
smartphonesSlide11
Greenhouse & Nursery Irrigation
Most groundwater needs amending before being used for irrigation
Sand filters take out salts and other particulates
Fertilizer injectors allow for even dosing with irrigation Slide12
Nursery Irrigation
Most is done by overhead impact sprinklers
Some
microspray
is used on sensitive plants or large-canopied treesSlide13
Nursery IrrigationSlide14
Nursery Irrigation
Large holding ponds are created to reduce the demand on groundwaterSlide15
Nursery & Greenhouse Irrigation
Many similarities in equipment exist
However, both are managed quite differently based on the needs of the plants & industry
