Agricultural Fittings

With the increasing population, there is a growing demand for food, which has led to the adoption of modern farming practices. And, in modern farming practices, the use of high-quality agricultural pipes and fittings is essential for the efficient and sustainable management of irrigation systems.

Let’s find out what agricultural pipes are and why investing in quality piping systems is beneficial for farmers.

What are Agricultural Pipes?

As the name suggests, agricultural pipes are the type of pipes used for irrigation purposes in agriculture. They are used to transport water from its source, such as wells, reservoirs or water storage tanks, to the fields where crops are grown. These pipes are typically made of uPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), which is a durable and cost-effective material widely used in the agricultural industry.

The Importance of Quality Agricultural Pipes and Fittings

Efficient Water Distribution

High-quality agriculture pipes and fittings ensure efficient water distribution, prevent water wastage and optimise water utilisation. This is essential for achieving maximum crop yield while conserving water resources, which is increasingly important in regions facing water scarcity.

Reliable and Durable Infrastructure

Investing in quality agricultural pipes and fittings helps in the creation of a reliable and durable irrigation infrastructure. These pipes are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of farming environments, including exposure to sunlight, fluctuating temperatures and corrosive substances commonly found in fertilisers and pesticides.

The smooth inner surface of Aquasafe uPVC pipes reduces turbulence, which results in lower friction losses and higher flow rates. Its high-quality build reduces water wastage and helps in reducing energy consumption as less pumping power is required to deliver water to the fields.

Improved Crop Yield

A well-designed irrigation system using reliable agricultural pipes and fittings enables farmers to provide crops with a consistent and adequate water supply, essential nutrients and protection against pests and diseases.

Time and Labor Savings

Using efficient irrigation systems with properly installed and maintained agricultural pipes can save valuable time and resources. Automated irrigation systems allow for precise control over water distribution, reducing the need for manual labour and frequent monitoring.
