What is Drip Irrigation?
- Subsurface drip irrigation is a low-pressure, high efficiency irrigation system that uses buried drip tape to meet crop water needs.
- Subsurface drip applies water directly to the crop root zone.
- Subsurface drip irrigation saves water and improves yields by eliminating surface water evaporation and reducing the incidence of weeds and disease.
- Subsurface drip irrigation provides a more efficient use of water and nutrients, and there is a significant improvement in yield and quality components.
- A subsurface drip system cost will vary depending on your water source, water quality, filtration needs, installation materials, soil characteristics and degree of automation desired.
- A subsurface drip system is perfectly designed for each field based upon size, slope and shape.
