The document is a project proposal for constructing an irrigation system for a greenhouse. It aims to provide stability for the greenhouse's drip irrigation and determine the required materials and procedures. The project will be conducted at the Federal College of Animal Health and Production Technology in Vom, Nigeria. It involves planning an irrigation system, gathering materials like pipes and emitters, installing the water source, and testing the system. The goal is to improve crop yields and agricultural productivity through a stable irrigation system in the greenhouse.

2. INTRODUCTION
A greenhouse is a structure designed to
provide an enclosed environment for the
cultivation of plants. The purpose of a
greenhouse is to create a controlled
environment that allows plants to grow in
conditions that are optimal for their growth
and development. Greenhouses are typically
constructed using materials such as glass or
polycarbonate panels that allow sunlight to
enter and trap heat inside the structure.

3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The problem is related to the irrigation of
a greenhouse. Greenhouses are a popular
method for growing crops as they provide
a controlled environment for plants to
thrive in. However, providing the right
amount of water to plants can be
challenging. Overwatering can lead to
waterlogging, while under watering can
cause plants to wilt and ultimately die.

4. AIM
• The aim of this project is to construct
greenhouse netting structures to improve
crop yield and increase agricultural
productivity.
OBJECTIVES
• To provide a much-needed stability for the
greenhouse drip irrigation
• To determine the material required for green
house drip irrigation.
• To determine the procedure involve in

5. JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
Building a solid foundation is critical when
constructing any building, and a greenhouse is no
exception. However, when constructing a
greenhouse, there are unique factors that need to be
considered to ensure its long-term viability, such as
the weight of the structure and the environmental
conditions it will be exposed to. Additionally, as the
need for sustainable and environmentally friendly
practices continues to increase, the importance of
building greenhouses with eco-friendly materials
and practices becomes more crucial. and
sustainable.

6. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The outcome of this project will provide
information on the importance of the
green house farming such as growing
season, protect the plant from harsh
weather condition and pest and to provide
suitable environment for plant growth.
And this information maybe useful to
farmers (producers) consumers,
distributors and researchers e.t.c.

7. MATERIALS
The materials needed for the construction
of the system include
• Measuring tape - it is use for measuring
of length
• Digger - it is use for digging
• Screw driver- it is use to drive in screws
• Hoe - it is use for weeding the soil
• Long hoe - it is use for clearing

8. MATERIALS CONT.
• Bolt and nuts- it is use to grip the materials being
fastened
• Pencil - it is use for writing record
• Book - it is use for keeping record
• PVC pipes - it is use for transportation of water
• Emitters - it is use to provide a regulated amount of
water to a specific plant or location
• Filters/Valves- it is use to prevent the oil from running
out of the filter when the engine is switch off.
• Hose (50/100m) - it is use for moving a liquid from one
place to another
• And other irrigation components.

9. EXPERIMENTAL SITE
The Federal College of Animal Health
and Production Technology (FCAH&PT)
Vom, Chaha campus will be used as an
experimental site for the construction of
the green house foundation.

10. METHOD
• Plan and design the system
• Gather materials
• Install the water source
• Lay the pipes
• Install emitters
• Install filters and valves
• Test the system

11. FIELD PROCEDURE
• Lay the pipes
• Install emitters
• Install filters and valves
• Test the system
• Overall, the construction of a greenhouse drip
irrigation system requires careful planning and
attention to detail. However, with the right design
and materials, the system can be efficient and
effective in improving crop yield while conserving
water.
• Measurement
