Abstract: Please, cite this article as: Puig-Bargués, J.; Arbat, G.; Elbana, M.; Duran-Ros, M.; Barragán, J.; Ramírez de Cartagena, F.; Lamm, F.R. AbstractFlushing is an important maintenance task that removes accumulated particles in microirrigation laterals that can help to reduce clogging problems. The effect of three dripline flushing frequency treatments (no flushing, one flushing at the end of each irrigation period, and a monthly flushing during the irrigation period) was studied in surface and subsurface drip i… Show more

“…Results recommended that an air/ vacuum relief valve be used for subsurface drip irrigation to avoid ingestion of soil particles due to back siphoning. Flushing at a velocity of 0.6 m/s was adequate as found in Spain when it was performed monthly or only at the end of irrigation season (Puig-Bargues et al 2010 ). In France, relations between biofi lm development and velocity distribution on NPC fl ow paths were observed and the pipe diameter appeared to be a parameter inducing emitter clogging (Gamri et al 2013 ).…”

“…Puig-Bargués et al (2010a) found greater emitter clogging at the distal end of the dripline without flushing than with a monthly and a seasonal flushing, with the latter two being not significantly different. Conversely, Puig-Bargués et al (2010b) observed an inconsistent effect of flushing frequency on dripline sediment removal.…”

“…Different flushing frequencies have been used by several researchers, including daily (Ravina et al, 1997), twice per week (Tajrishy et al, 1994), once per week (Tajrishy et al, 1994;Hills et al, 2000), every two weeks (Ravina et al, 1997;Hills and Brenes, 2001;Puig-Bargués et al, 2010b), monthly (Puig-Bargués et al, 2010a, 2010b, and seasonal (Puig-Bargués et al, 2010a).

“…Localized irrigation can be used for the application of wastewaters, given the high uniformity of application of the effluent and low risk of contamination (Batista et al, 2013), besides operating at low pressures and with high efficiency (Puig-Bargués et al, 2010). The maintenance of high uniformity of water application in irrigation systems becomes fundamental for an efficient irrigation regarding the use of water resources and reduction of costs (Ribeiro et al, 2012).…”
