UNDERGROUND DRIP SYSTEMS

Subsurface drip irrigation is a variation on traditional drip irrigation where the dripline (tubing and drippers) is buried beneath the soil surface, rather than laid on the ground, supplying water directly to the roots of your crop.

The depth and distance the dripline is placed depends on the soil type and the plant’s root structure. SDI is more than an irrigation system; it is a root zone management tool. Fertilizer can be applied to the root zone as required when it will be most beneficial to your crop – resulting in greater use efficiencies and better crop performance.

Call one of our certified designers today to get a quote for the most efficient method of irrigating your crop. Common crops that have shown significant yield increases are alfalfa, corn, canola, durum wheat and potatoes.
