Abstract

In the intensive vegetables cultivation it is necessary to use modern equipment for irrigation because it is the only way that irrigation can be done timely and appropriate. Irrigation is one of the most important agricultural measures because it has a positive effect on the physical, chemical and biological processes in the soil. Water dissolves nutrients in the soil which plants can assimilate with root system, participates in the process of photosynthesis by transferring nutrients from the root to the leaf, improves the microclimate and soil microflora, reduces the temperature of the plants what regulate their thermal regime, increased yield and fruit quality. The paper presents the equipment and different systems for vegetables irrigation.
