The practice of irrigation has a long history in wine production. Archaeologists describe it as one of the oldest practices in viticulture, with irrigation canals discovered near vineyard sites in Armenia and Egypt dating back more than 2600 years. [2] Irrigation was already widely practiced for other agricultural crops since around 5000 BC. [4]
The earliest evidence of grape vine cultivation and winemaking dates back 8,000 years. [5] The history of viticulture is closely related to the history of wine, with evidence that humans cultivated wild grapes to make wine as far back as the Neolithic period.

Micro-irrigation, sometimes called localized irrigation, low volume irrigation, or trickle irrigation is a system where water is distributed under low pressure through a piped network, in a pre-determined pattern, and applied as a small discharge to each plant or adjacent to it. Traditional drip irrigation use individual emitters, subsurface ...
Over the years, they have planted 286 hectares (710 acres) of vines, primarily along the Elqui River valley, where grape growers have access to high-quality water for irrigation. [2] The region has clay, silt and chalk soil, and is characterized by a sunny, desert-like climate with less than 70 millimetres (2.8 in) of annual rainfall.
An irrigation controller is used with automatic systems and may be needed for back flushing the filter or sand separator. Since water conservation is a main reason for choosing micro-irrigation systems, soil moisture sensors, rain shutoff sensors and sometimes even weather stations may be installed to further reduce consumption.
Irrigation is an artificial application of water into soil for plant growth and survival, in horticulture and agriculture. Subcategories. This category has the ...
