Analysis of the effects of farm fi tting out with the installation for horticultural crops irrigation. The effects of fitting out the horticultural farm with irrigation installation are presented. The scope of work covered the labour inputs and exploitation costs. The total production profit analyzed in 2012, resulted from irrigation system implementation, amounted to about 30 000 PLN, when compared to the previous year without irrigation. The calculated predicted refunding of investment cost inputs will occur in the third year of irrigation system utilization; it is a significant argument that proves the rightness of fitting out the farm with overhauling hose-reel sprinkling machine and with auxiliary assisting devices.
In the article the impact of the structure of pipeline transportation systems on the efficiency of their operation is examined. It is shown that, depending on the assumed structure, transport systems can be characterized by different performance characteristics. It is established that the structure of the system influences the development of the aging process and decrease system performance. Recommendations on the choice of the structure of systems that can be used at the design stage are given.
