(Subsurface Drip Irrigation)

Metzerplas developed the most suitable drippers for SDI with anti-siphon mechanism to prevent aspiration through the dripper’s outlet and RootGuard® protection to prevent roots intrusion into the dripper.

SDI Benefits:

• Substantial water savings Eliminates water loss due to evaporation, mist, surface runoff or wind interference.
• Higher yields Water and nutrients delivered directly to root zone promote healthy plant growth and reduce plant stress.
• Weed control Dry soil surface reduces weed germination and herbicide use.
• Extended irrigation system life Additional protection from damage caused by environmental conditions and mechanical damage.
• Ideal for effluent water reuse Dry soil surface prevents the crop contact with effluent water.
