Abstract

This technology was developed and applied in Mexico during the 1970s. It is essentially intermittent gravity-flow irrigation system. It has been used almost exclusively for small-scale agriculture and domestic gardening. In the field of agriculture, better yield of crops fertilizers are very important. It is difficult to distribute fertilizer to each crop with proper proportion due to many causes such as mixing the fertilizer with proper proportion, more man power required, time span etc. Therefore, it will give low yield of crop which is unpleasant especially for the farms that lack the source of water. Sometimes, the farmers supply excessive water and fertilizer to each plants and cause insufficient water in the tank to other area of plants. Conventional operating system of Venturi Fertilizer System (VFS) uses direct water tap to flow the water from inlet to outlet of irrigation system. In this project, the gravity pressure is use to replace the conventional operating system. Water tank was placed at certain height in order to study the considerable effectiveness of the outlet water pressure. The permissible quantity outlet points were also analysed at different height of water tank position
