SDI - SUBSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION
SDI

(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.
