Sistemas de irrigação utilizados na produção de hortaliças na Comunidade do Aninga no Município de Parintins - AM

Abstract

The cultivation of vegetables using irrigation systems presents successful plantations. In order to know how this partnership is configured, this study sought to carry out a survey of the types of irrigation for the production of vegetables in the municipality of Parintins - Amazonas in the Aninga community. The methodology used in carrying out this study was bibliographic research and field research. The field research took place in two stages, the first stage was to carry out visits to the places where the plantations are carried out using an irrigation system and the second stage followed the informal conversations with the vegetable producers. It was possible to identify in the places the use of the localized irrigation method with the use of drip irrigation systems and microsprinkler irrigation system, and it was also verified the planting of vegetables through the hydroponics technique that does not need an irrigation system as well as it is not necessary to use soil for planting. The species of vegetables cultivated are cabbage with the use of irrigation system, and lettuce through the hydroponics technique. Thus, it are concluded that plantations with the presence of irrigation systems are economically viable for producers because they are low cost and ideal for planting cabbage. Lettuce grown in the hydroponics technique proved to be viable due to the aesthetic quality of the plants, so the irrigation system is an alternative that contributed to the farmers.
