Drip
irrigation is the most efficient water and nutrient delivery system for growing
crops. It delivers water and nutrients directly to the plant’s roots zone, in
the right amounts, at the right time, so each plant gets exactly what it needs,
when it needs it, to grow optimally. Thanks to drip irrigation, farmers can
produce higher yields while saving on water as well as fertilizers, energy and
even crop protection products.
How does
it work?
Water and nutrients are delivered across the field
in pipes called ‘dripperlines’ featuring smaller units known as ‘drippers’.
Each dripper emits drops containing water and fertilizers, resulting in the
uniform application of water and nutrients direct to each plant's root zone,
across an entire field.
