What temperature should water be for irrigation: optimal values
26.06.2024 19:50
Not all gardeners, especially those who are just starting out in this direction, know what temperature water is best for watering plants.
What kind of water should be used for irrigation?
Let's answer this question: it is believed that the best choice would be water of the same temperature as the air.
Exceptions to the Rules
Often, summer residents install a black barrel or other dark-colored container on their plot. In such a container, the water heats up faster, and sometimes even overheats.
You can water with such water – the soil is able to equalize this temperature with its own. As a result, the water will reach the roots in an optimal state (or slightly warmer), which is even better for peppers and cucumbers.
What about cold water from a well?
This water is also allowed to be used for watering - although it is not of the ideal temperature, it is not capable of destroying plants due to the fact that watering is done into already warmed soil, which already contains heated water. There, both liquids mix, and the temperature is equalized.
Here is the answer - water of any temperature is suitable for irrigation.
