Sparsely Planted Hydrozones
In a sparsely planted hydrozone, where you have used individual emitters or
micro-bubblers to irrigate plants, you’ll need to add up the total flow required by
all the emission devices in the hydrozone.
You may want to use a worksheet similar to the one below (Figure 9-2) to calcu-
late the total flow in a sparsely planted hydrozone.
This approach can be used for each hydrozone or for the entire planting area so
that hydrozones can be determined based on flow rates and microclimate consid-
erations.
