When discussing irrigation, agriculture and landscaping are not uniform industries: the diversity of plants, climates, soil types, and technologies creates an endless range of scenarios. To get the best value from an investment in an irrigation system, choosing the right irrigation products is crucial and should take into account a wide range of factors.
The challenge is even greater for drip irrigation, where all products may appear very similar. However, making an informed selection requires careful decisions about the exact specifications for each application.
All driplines are made as pipes with evenly spaced drippers (emitters), but each pipe and each emitter are unique, with their own properties, features, and benefits.
The following articles were written by highly experienced experts in both agriculture and the design and manufacturing of irrigation systems.
The purpose of these articles is to explain and describe the various properties of driplines and how they relate to different irrigation practices, for the benefit of farmers and irrigation system distributors.
- Dripper type
- Flow rate
- Compensated or not
