PC drippers such as Adi, Vered, and Vardit are recommended for their consistent pressure compensation, durability, and anti-clogging performance. They are suitable for long laterals, saline water, and uneven terrain.
Young trees typically use a single loop; mature trees use 3–4 loops. This accounts for expanding root zones and ensures even water distribution around the trunk base.
Annual recommendations are 300 kg/ha nitrogen, 100 kg/ha phosphorus, and 300 kg/ha potassium. Metzer systems deliver these inputs precisely via fertigation, improving uptake and yield.
Drip irrigation improves nutrient efficiency, minimizes water loss, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It also increases yield compared to sprinklers while keeping trunk zones dry.
Yes. Metzer’s CleanLine technology prevents clogging caused by high-organic-content water, making the system suitable for saline, brackish, or reclaimed water irrigation.
Metzer designs custom drip systems with up to 3–4 loops per mature tree and dripper spacing of 30–50 cm. This creates an even moisture profile while allowing control over flow rate and irrigation time.
A mature date palm can absorb up to 1,000 liters of water daily during peak season. With shallow, wide-spreading roots, precise and frequent watering is essential for maintaining yield and tree health.
