English: The first completed burial of micro irrigation drip tube in one of the pecan orchards at Arrowhead Farms of Crystal City, TX, is accomplished on Tuesday, March 24, 2010. Twin furrows 10 inches deep contain drip irrigation tube buried in each, between rows of pecan trees, during the installation of a micro irrigation system. Water emitters positioned every 35 inches emit 1 gallon of water per hour over a 24-hour period. This allows the water to soak downward and promote a strong and healthy root system for the trees. This will dramatically retard the weed growth and the need for labor and cost of herbicides. In all, about 25,000 feet of drip tubing was used. The 719-acre farm with 10,000 trees, features some orchards with underground micro irrigation system that feeds water to the roots of 4,380 pecan trees on 146 acres. Mr. Mohammad said, “USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) was essential to my business and trees surviving the recent exceptional drought. The trees were stress free thanks to underground micro-irrigation. This is essential to the future growth of Texas agriculture and good for America.” U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Environmental Quality Initiative Program (EQIP) awarded Mr. Mohammad a $130,000 grant in 2008. He provided $26,000 for the balance of the $156,000 total cost to install a 146-acre underground micro-irrigation for 4,380 trees. USDA Photo by J. M. Villarreal. |
