Orchards and vineyards irrigation: Drip irrigation systems

Drip irrigation systems

Drip irrigation as localised irrigation system, is recognised by a water emitter near the roots, with low flow and pressure, and a long watering time with short cycles.

Why to invest in this kind of system

• Low water amount required;
• Water distribution uniformity;
• Dry ground between row;
• Environmental control of the root area;
• Better disease control;
• Useful on morphological difficult land;
• Useful on granulometric hostile soil;
• Programmed fertirrigation;
• Better salt tolerance;
• Energy saving;
• Reduction of manpower costs;
• No obstacle for mechanical operation on plants;
• Automatisation and control through the complete irrigation cycle.

Drip irrigation on vineyards and orchards

Drip line normal or pressure compensating (constant flow at pressure variations) and CNL system (start functioning at the same time of all drip emitter on the same line).
