Higher Yields Water and nutrients delivered directly to the root zone promote healthy plant growth and reduce plant stress. Healthier, Better Quality Crops Soil and foilage are kept dry, reducing fungal diseases caused by surface or overhead irrigation. Eliminates fruit and vegetable spotting commonly caused by overhead irrigation. Safe and Efficient Delievery of Fertilizers & Insecticides Chemicals are directly applied to the roots with subsurface drip, reducing chemical pollution from leaching into the aquifer. Fewer Weeds A dry soil surface reduces germination. Improved Soil Aeration Fine soil particles are not washed down, decreasing soil compaction and improving root growth. Dry Soil Surface With a dry soil surface, cultural operations and harvest can take place while the system is operating. Substantial Water Saving Water loss due to evaporation, mist, surface runoff or wind interference is eliminated.

Less Salts Less water also means less salts in the soil or the aquifer. A Longer or Extended Irrigation System Life The turbulent flow drip emitters and tubing are made with durable polymers. When placed underground the irrigation system is protected from damage caused by ultraviolet light, temperature fluctuations and damage due to cultural operations. Plus ROOTGUARD deters clogging. Less Animal, Human or Mechanical Damage No sprinkler heads, pipes or surface driplines that can cause injury, or be subjected to damage by vandalism, animals or harvest activities in the field. Lower Maintenance Cost The system is installed permanently below cultivation depth, and requires no handling. Fewer Chemicals Fungicides and insecticides are not washed off by irrigation water and direct delivery through the system reduces waste. Labor Savings Easier fertilizer application, less weed and disease control and less maintenance means less handling.
