Subsurface application of water aimed directly at the root zone improves yields by reducing the incidence of disease and weeds. Subsurface microirrigation is suitable for almost all Crops and especially for high-value fruit and vegetable Crops, turf and landscapes.
Research shows the yield and quality of produce improves with a buried drip system.
Normal life expectancy of a system is 12 to 15 years. Farm operations become free of impediments that normally exist above ground with any other pressurized irrigation system. Subsurface application of water aimed directly at the root zone improves yields by reducing the incidence of disease and weeds. Germination of annual weed seed is reduced, which lowers weed pressure. Water is conserved, fertilizer efficiency is enhanced, and labor needs are reduced.
