What
is Drip Irrigation? Drip irrigation is the slow
application of water directly to the plant's root zone.
Drip irrigation can provide optimum moisture level in
the soil at all times, resulting in less water lost to
the sun and wind. With drip irrigation, water is not wasted
on non-growth areas, and the root zone is maintained at
a steady moisture level, combining the proper balance
of water and air for a very efficient irrigation system.
Drip
irrigation can be used to ensure proper watering of all
of your plant needs including berries, fruit trees, grapes
and even gardens.
How
does it benefit a vineyard? Drip irrigation in
vineyards provides
excellent water management, allows better fruit production
and reduces problems of unwanted mold growth. It also
ensures large fruit size and fruit quality. A shortage
of available soil moisture greatly reduces the normal
growth rate of a grapevine. Grapevines are quite tolerant
to drought, but when heavily stressed, plant growth almost
stops.
How
hard is Drip Irrigation to use? Drip irrigation
is an easy, cost efficient way to maintain the necessary
watering requirements in your plants. We sell everything
