Comparación de eficiencias entre el sistema de riego por aspersión y un prototipo del sistema de riego por subirrigación en el vivero la Florida del Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis

Abstract

The following work presents the results obtained from the internship performed in la Florida nursery, of the Bogotá Botanical Garden, for the determination and later comparison of efficiencies with regard of the efficient use of the water resource for the irrigation of vegetal material and its effect in irrigation periods, between the irrigation sprinkling system currently used at the nursery and a prototype of the irrigation system known as sub-irrigation designed by the authors; for 14 species selected form the areas of the nursery (gardening, arborization and restoration), by the follow-up and monitoring of the moisture loss in the substratum of every individual by the measurement of its weight and morphologic characteristics.
