| This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a dripper and of a self-cleaning valve operating with water containing different concentrations of total solids. The experiment was conducted in sub-subplots design, having on the plots two line endings (conventional and self-cleaning valve), in the subplots five waters with total solids concentrations (7 mg L-1, 407 mg L-1, 1,007 mg L-1, 2,007 mg L-1, 4,007 mg L-1) and on the sub-subplots 60 reviews of irrigation system, on the completely randomized design with three replications. In the end of the trial period, each dripper applied a cumulative volume of 1.44 m³. The parameters evaluated were: flow and the uniformities of water applications through the distribution coefficients (DU), Christiansen (CU) and... |
