Netafim Dripline & Drip Irrigation

Netafim Drip irrigation is the most efficient water and nutrient delivery system for growing crops. It delivers water and nutrients directly to the plant’s roots zone, in the right amounts, at the right time, so each plant gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it, to grow optimally. Thanks to drip, farmers can produce higher yields, with better consistency and quality, while saving on water, labour, fertilisers, energy and even crop protection products.

Water and nutrients are delivered across the field in pipes called ‘dripperlines’ or 'drip lines' featuring smaller units known as ‘drippers’. Each dripper emits uniform drops containing water and fertilizers, resulting in the uniform application of water and nutrients directly to each plant's root zone, across an entire field.

Just like people, plants like to get their water and nutrients in a balanced way. Nobody wants to eat a month's worth of food in one day, and the same goes for plants. Which is why drip irrigation applies water and nutrients frequently and in small doses, ensuring optimal growing conditions that helps produce the highest yields possible.   

By 2050, there’ll be 10 billion people living on our planet, and 20% less arable land per person to grow enough calories. Include increasing water scarcity, and it’s clear why we need a way to increase agricultural productivity and resource efficiency. That’s where precision irrigation fits in. Netafim Drip systems as an irrigation method are changing the economics of global agriculture by allowing farmers to produce more calories per hectare and cubic meter of water.
