Heavywall dripperline tubing with built-in drip emitters is a specialized irrigation solution designed for vineyards, orchards, and bramble crops such as blackberries and raspberries. It offers efficient and precise water delivery directly to the root zones of plants, promoting healthy growth, increased yields, and water conservation.

Construction: Heavywall dripperline tubing is manufactured from durable materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene (PE) resin, ensuring strength, flexibility, and resistance to UV degradation and chemical corrosion. The tubing features a thick wall construction to withstand high pressure and external stresses, making it suitable for long-term use in rugged agricultural environments.

Integrated emitters: Heavywall dripperline tubing is equipped with built-in drip emitters spaced at regular intervals along its length, typically ranging from 6 inches to 24 inches apart, depending on the crop spacing and water requirements. These emitters regulate the flow rate of water, ensuring uniform distribution and optimal moisture levels in the root zones of vines, trees, and brambles.

Flow rate and spacing: Heavywall dripperline tubing is available in various flow rates and emitter spacings to accommodate the specific needs of different crops and soil conditions. Higher flow rates and closer emitter spacings may be used for crops with high water demands or dense planting arrangements, while lower flow rates and wider spacings may be suitable for less water-intensive crops or wider row spacing.

Installation: Heavywall dripperline tubing is installed along the rows of plants or trees either on the soil surface or buried beneath the soil surface, depending on the specific requirements of the crop and irrigation system. It can be laid out in straight rows, curved rows, or contour lines to match the planting configuration and terrain of the vineyard or orchard. Proper installation ensures uniform water distribution and efficient water management.

Advantages: Heavywall dripperline tubing offers several advantages for irrigation in vineyards, orchards, and bramble crops. It delivers water directly to the root zone of plants, uses less water than conventional methods and minimizes water loss due to evaporation, runoff, and drift.

The integrated emitters ensure precise water delivery with a slow drip, promoting efficient water uptake and minimizing water stress on plants.  All of this reduces weed growth, soil erosion, and disease, while improving crop quality and yield.

Heavywall dripperline tubing is long-lasting, heavy polypropylene tubing that maintains optimal irrigation efficiency and prevents deterioration over time.
