Abstract

The main goal in the agritouristic pension design is that tourists can consume organic plant products produced in the guest house farm or its immediate neighborhood. Thispaper aims are on one hand to design a vegetable farm based on the necessity of specific products needed for the operation of a medium pension with 9 rooms, and secondly to assess the possibility of using photovoltaic energy for powering the micro-drip irrigation system. Starting from the amount of vegetable needs for tourists from an average agritouristic pension, it was calculated the number of plants, the required surface for the plants and the amount of water needed. Based on daily and monthly needs there were established technical and constructive parameters of the solar drip irrigation installation (diameter and length of hoses, flow, pressure and pump power and solar panel characteristics). The model can be easily adapted to other size pensions or todifferent climatic conditions.
