Question

Which is the correct sequence to connect various components of drip irrigation systems in a banana field?
(A) Pump
(B) Fertilizer Tank
(C) Lateral
(D) Course Filter
(E) Main Line
(F) Fine Filter
(G) Drippers
Choose the correct answer from the options given below, which is the correct sequence of drip irrigation components.

• (A) - (B) - (C) - (D) - (E) - (F) - (G)
• (A) - (D) - (F) - (B) - (E) - (C) - (G)
• (A) - (C) - (B) - (D) - (E) - (F) - (G)
• (A) - (E) - (F) - (C) - (B) - (D) - (G)

Hint:

Filters sit close to the pump, and the pipe network always ends Main Line, then Lateral, then Drippers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Water flows from the pump into the filtration unit first, so the coarse filter (D) and fine filter (F) come right after the pump (A).
Step 2: The fertilizer tank (B) is connected after the filters, so fertigation happens on already-filtered water before it enters the pipe network.
Step 3: After fertigation the water goes into the main line (E), then branches into the lateral line (C), and finally reaches the drippers (G) at the plant base.
Step 4: This gives the order Pump - Course Filter - Fine Filter - Fertilizer Tank - Main Line - Lateral - Drippers, which is option 2.
