Drip irrigation provides optimal, uniform soil moisture and outstanding aeration, which is critical for cultivating marketable table grapes. As no water is wasted due to run-off or evaporation, drip saves 30% on water and energy costs when compared to sprinkler irrigation. Delivering nutrients directly to the roots means that there is no weed growth between vine rows, and more importantly, moisture levels within the canopy remain low, reducing the risk of threatening foliar diseases.
