THE Gandhama flower (Chry-santhemum  flower)  growers  near Kawlin Township, Sagaing Region cut the costs of money by using a sprinkler system.

The  villages  around  the  townships  grow  the  Gandhama flowers and they order the seedlings from PyinOoLwin.

The growers used to rely on the irrigation system every year, and this year, due to the drought, the sprinkler system is used.

“In  our  area,  every  Gandhama  flower  grower  uses  irrigation system every year which costed us a lot due to the fungal and  insects,  besides,  the  profit  was  a  little  due  to  the  high  cost  of  fertilizer,  labour  costs  for planting every time we need to  irrigate,”  said  a  Gandhama  flower  grower  in  Zeephyupin  village.

“This year, we have come to use the sprinkler system due to the drought. We have known the benefits of the sprinkler system as  it  can  reduce  costs  due  to  less  fertilizer  use  and  germs,” he continued.

The  sprinkler  system  also  helps the Gandhama flowers to bloom bigger and be sold early and the flower growers should use the system as it also helps to reduce the costs, he added.

Farms  near  Kawlin  Town-ship  mostly  grow  Summer,  Kwayphyu,  Mayan,  Myahninphyu, Osar Mayan, Shwe O, Thitkhwa Latepyar flowers.
