[0002] Water and fertilizer integration technology refers to a new agricultural technology that irrigation and fertilization are integrated. By means of pressure system (or natural terrain difference), soluble solids or liquid fertilizer is mixed into fertilizer solution according to the soil nutrient content and the fertilizer requirement law and characteristics of crops, and then water and fertilizer are combined, and drip irrigation is formed through pipes and drippers. The main root system soil is kept loose and has appropriate moisture content through uniform, timed and quantitative water and fertilizer irrigation in the root system development and growth area of crops.
[0003] The drip pipe terminal dedicated plug usually needs to be purchased in large quantities.

They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0028] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of frequent detachment of drip irrigation plugs, leading to water and fertilizer waste, localized over-watering and over-fertilizing causing root rot and death in mango and vegetable seedlings, decreased drip irrigation water and fertilizer pressure, and uneven water and fertilizer supply in the field, resulting in uneven growth of mango and vegetable seedlings. Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a dropper plug, comprising:
[0029] The folded section 7 is formed by flattening and folding the end of the drip tube 4 into 2-3 sections. The drip tube 4 is a commercially available drip irrigation tube 4, and the spacing of the drip holes 9 has various specifications, such as 20 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm, etc. Fertilizer and water are dripped through the drip holes 9. The drip tube end needs to be sealed to prevent fertilizer and water loss and to avoid insufficient pressure or slow dripping. The drip tube end is the end of the drip tube, relative to the fixed end connecting the drip tube 4 and the bypass 3. The folded section 7 is formed by flattening and folding the end of the drip tube 4 into 2-3 sections. The flattening of the folded section 7 is its definite spatial shape and is not arbitrary. Through multiple field tests, it has been found that... Figure 2 As shown, the easiest operation is to fold the two sections and insert them into the sleeve section 8, and there will be no leakage of fertilizer water during drip irrigation. Figure 1 As shown, after folding the 3 sections and inserting them into the sleeve section 8, it is very tight and there will be no leakage of fertilizer water even after long-term drip irrigation. If it is folded more than 3 times, it will be difficult to insert into the sleeve section 8. The folding of 2 to 3 sections mentioned here means that starting from the tail end of the drip tube 4, the approximate length of each section is determined, and the drip tube 4 is bent at equal intervals to 180° so that two adjacent sections have a bend. It should be noted that the tube body selected for the folding section 7 should be the part of the tube body without drip holes 9, that is, the tube body inserted into the sleeve section 8 does not have drip holes 9.
[0030] The sleeve section 8 is formed by shortening the tube body of the dripper 4. It is shortened at the end of the dripper with scissors, or by shortening the leftover material from the edge of the same type of dripper 4 used in the field with scissors. The length of the sleeve section 8 is preferably slightly longer than the approximate length of each of the folded 2-3 sections. The material of the sleeve section 8 does not need to be limited to whether the tube body has drip holes 9. The material of the sleeve section 8 is usually a circular tube body. After the sleeve section 8 is made, its flattening is a definite spatial shape and is not arbitrary. The sleeve section 8 is fitted onto the folded part 7 in a flat surface form. That is, the sleeve section 8 and the folded part 7 are fitted together in a near-planar form to form a plug, and do not block the drip holes 9 on the adjacent folded part 7, nor hinder the drip holes 9 of the adjacent plug from drip irrigation of the nearby area.
[0031] In the preparation of this utility model, the material can be directly obtained from the dropper end, that is, the material is available locally and no additional purchase is required. First, the excess length of the dropper 4 is shortened and used for the sleeve part 8. Then, the shortened dropper 4 is folded to a predetermined length. In order to facilitate the insertion of the folded part 7 into the sleeve part 8, the folded part 7 can be folded longitudinally by 180°. Here, longitudinally refers to the center line along the length direction of the dropper 4. After the insertion is completed, the folded part 7 and the sleeve part 8 are flattened so that they are fitted onto the folded part 7 in a flat surface form, forming the common state of this utility model.
[0032] When this utility model is used, water and fertilizer are integrated for irrigation. Water and fertilizer flow in the drip tube 4. The folded part 7 is made of flexible material. Due to the fluid pressure of water, fertilizer and air, it will expand slightly and will not cause the folded part 7 to fall off. Instead, it will form a fuller and tighter form in the sleeve part 8, and will not cause water and fertilizer leakage.
[0033] This utility model's drip irrigation plug 5 solves the problem of drip irrigation plugs frequently falling off due to pressure and temperature changes in integrated water and fertilizer irrigation. It prevents fertilizer and water leakage from the drip irrigation terminal, has a simple structure, good sealing effect, and saves on the investment cost of dedicated drip irrigation plugs. The price of dedicated drip irrigation plugs depends on the procurement channel and quantity; imported or joint venture plugs cost no less than 7-8 yuan each, and some can reach as high as 15 yuan each. Using this utility model's drip irrigation plug 5 saves more than 200 yuan per mu in investment costs. It completely solves the problem of drip irrigation plugs frequently falling off due to pressure changes (especially excessive pressure) and temperature changes (plastic products are very sensitive to thermal expansion and contraction), causing uneven fertilizer and water distribution in the field, and even flooding of low-lying areas. This is especially problematic for large planting areas or scattered plots where there is insufficient manpower for inspection, and is a frequent issue in integrated water and fertilizer irrigation.
[0034] In a preferred technical solution, the dripper 4 has an inner diameter of 16 mm. Domestically, drippers 4 are generally manufactured with a diameter of 16 mm. The dripper 4 has a built-in drip hole 9, and drip irrigation can be achieved by connecting the dripper 4 to the bypass 3 on the branch pipe 2. This method is suitable for most crop irrigation scenarios.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the folded portion 7 is formed by flattening and folding 2-3 sections of 5-8 cm tube body. As mentioned above, the folding of 2-3 sections means that the approximate length of each section is determined to be 5-8 cm from the tail end of the dropper 4, which can match the spacing of the drip holes 9, so that the drip holes 9 are exposed after the folded portion 7 is folded 2-3 sections, and the folded portion does not have drip holes 9.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the sleeve portion 8 is formed by shortening the drip tube 4 by 5-8 cm. As mentioned above, the folded 2-3 segments refer to determining the approximate length of each segment as 5-8 cm from the tail end of the drip tube 4, which matches the spacing of the drip holes 9. This ensures that the sleeve portion 8 does not obstruct the drip holes 9 on the adjacent folded portion 7, nor does it hinder the drip holes 9 of the adjacent plug from dripping into the surrounding area.
[0037] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the drip irrigation system for mango and vegetable bases includes a drip pipe 4 with a drip pipe plug 5, specifically comprising:
[0038] The drip tube 4 is a commonly used drip irrigation drip tube on the market. The spacing of the drip holes 9 is available in various specifications, such as 20 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm, etc. Fertilizer and water are dripped through the drip holes 9.
[0039] The folded part 7 is formed by flattening and folding the tube body of the free end of the dropper 4 into 2 to 3 sections;
[0040] The sleeve part 8 is formed by a short section of the tube body of the dropper 4. The sleeve part 8 is fitted onto the folded part 7 in a flat surface form and does not obstruct the drop hole 9 on the adjacent folded part 7.
[0041] The drip pipe 4 for drip irrigation of mango and vegetable bases of this utility model can be directly used for irrigation and fertilization in the field, so that water and fertilizer are evenly and stably dripped from the drip pipe 4 and the drip hole 9, thereby improving the efficiency of irrigation and fertilization.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the integrated water and fertilizer system for mango and vegetable bases includes:
[0043] The main pipe 1 has its water and fertilizer inlet connected to the head system 6 via a centrifugal water pump, which pumps in water and fertilizer.
[0044] At least one branch pipe 2, which is distributed alternately on the main pipe 1 and connected to the main pipe 1;
[0045] At least one set of droppers 4, each set of droppers 4 corresponding to a branch pipe 2, each set of droppers 4 including at least a pair of droppers 4 spaced apart on a branch pipe 2, the droppers 4 being connected to the branch pipe 2 through a bypass 3, and the droppers 4 being provided with the dropper plug 5.
[0046] In the above technical solution, the main pipe 1, branch pipe 2, bypass 3, drip irrigation pipe 4, and drip irrigation pipe plug 5 form an integrated device. The bypass 3 of branch pipe 2 is connected to drip irrigation pipe 4, and drip irrigation pipe plug 5 is located at the end of drip irrigation pipe. Drip irrigation pipe 4 delivers water and fertilizer to the field. The drip irrigation head system 6 mainly includes a power source (water pump), filters (centrifugal filters, mesh filters, disc filters, etc.), fertilization devices (fertilizer tanks, fertilizer applicators, Venturi fertilizer applicators, etc.), control systems (ball valves, various valves), etc. The distribution of branch pipes 2 can be symmetrical or arranged front and back, adjusted according to the distribution of crops in the field. Drip irrigation pipes 4 usually appear in pairs, with each pair of drip irrigation pipes 4 spaced apart on the branch pipe 2. Because the drip irrigation pipe plug 5 seals the end of the drip irrigation pipe, it prevents fertilizer and water loss, ensuring that the pressure inside the drip irrigation pipe 4 is sufficient for drip irrigation, increasing the uniformity and stability of water and fertilizer, thereby improving the effect of irrigation and fertilization.
[0047] This utility model's integrated water and fertilizer equipment connects to the head system 6 via drip pipes 4, branch pipes 2, and main pipe 1, constructing an irrigation system for mango and vegetable bases. It avoids water and fertilizer flowing from the drip pipe terminals, preventing mango seedlings and vegetable seedlings from rotting and dying due to excessive water and fertilizer. This allows for efficient and quick irrigation and fertilization of mango trees and vegetables, thereby improving the quality and yield of fruits and vegetables and enhancing the competitiveness of agricultural products.
[0048] In a preferred technical solution, the branch pipe 2 and the drip pipe 4 are laid and fixed 5-10 cm away from the vegetable plants, or on the trunk of mango saplings at a height of 30-40 cm from the ground, and within 30-40 cm of the drip line of the canopy of fruit-bearing trees. The mango base includes a large number of mango saplings and fruit-bearing trees, and the vegetable base includes a large number of field vegetable crops. To achieve uniform, timely, and quantitative water and fertilizer irrigation, the design is tailored to the different growth stages of the crops, considering their nutrient requirements, soil environment, nutrient content, and water and fertilizer requirements. For field vegetable crops, the drip pipe 4 is laid and fixed 5-10 cm away from the vegetable plants. For fruit tree seedlings, the drip pipe 4 is laid and fixed on the trunk of mango saplings at a height of 30-40 cm from the ground, and within 30-40 cm of the drip line of the canopy of fruit-bearing trees. This fixes the drip pipe 4, ensuring that the drip holes 9 irrigate the fixed growth area, providing water and nutrients to the crops at regular intervals and in proportions, ensuring appropriate water and fertilizer application for mango seedlings and vegetable seedlings, and achieving comprehensive irrigation and fertilization.

[0050] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments.
