Chilly Kulai F1 568

About 2000 chilly has been transplanted and can be divided into two plots. One plot is using drip tape irrigation water system, while another one is using straight dripper injected directly to the soil. Comparing with two system, we discover that using injector dripper direct to the soil is much better compared with using drip tape. 300 of chilly using this method and the rest of 1700 using drip tape.
For your information, we are using 4 mm micro tube and 3.2 mm dripper size that allow water flow smoothly through the tubing and goes to the soil. In the past experience, the 3 mm micro-tube gave us much problem such as blockage and need to service and maintain the tubing and piping all the time. More time consume when using 3 mm micro tube.
