Canary Island Grape Trial: AZOMITE was placed on one half of a vineyard that was to be cut down and replanted because the previous years’ plants had low flower yields. AZOMITE was applied to both the soil and sprayed on the leaves and vines. ...
Algae blooms can have a major impact on irrigation systems and cost producers time and money to clear clogged pumps, spray and drip lines, not to mention possible chemical application costs. WaterIQ Technologies™ and its partners specialise in environmentally friendly ultrasound technology for efficient and cost-effective solutions to combat harmful algae ...
The system features a tube with a bactericide lining with an internal plug resistant emitter protected from root intrusion by an impregnated herbicide. ...
ABSTRACT The practice of placing tubing and drip emitters beneath the soil surface to irrigate crops continues to gain acceptance in agriculture, particularly in the production of annual crops. However, the use of the subsurface drip method to irrigate turfgrass has only begun to be explored. This paper focuses on the experiences gained at California State ...
It no longer requires letting the field dry or turning the system off during special or planned activities. The problem of burying drip irrigation lines is not new. Root intrusion and other problems have caused this approach to be limited in its application or abandoned all together in the past. ...
This experiment focused on: the comparison of crop responses, irrigation water requirements and salinity accumulations as affected by subsurface drip versus furrow irrigation; and the influence of two drip lateral spacings on the above characteristics. ...

However, the use of the subsurface drip method to irrigate turfgrass has only begun to be explored. This paper focuses on the experiences gained at California State ...
“Micro-irrigation”, or drip irrigation, is a method which allows the farmer to give the same amount of water to the roots of each plant, without waste. ...
Subsurface Drip Irrigation is a specialized subset of drip irrigation where dripline or drip tape "lateral lines" (tubes buried beneath the crop rows) and supply and flushing "submains" (pipes supplying water to the lateral lines) are buried beneath the soil surface for multi-year use. ...
Nothing spells the death of a subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system taster than root intrusion. With more growers placing drip irrigation lines below the soil surface, the need for a better understanding of how to keep roots out of drip emitters has also become more important. ...
Abstract An 18–month field evaluation of four micro–irrigation "drip" treatment and disposal systems was conducted to determine if reducing the separation distance between the bottom of the drip–line and the seasonal high water table (limiting condition) could be reduced from 18 inches to 12 inches. ...
