How to choose the right drip lines and tapes?

Choosing the right system depends on many factors. The type of soil and crops are key. The size of the area being irrigated is also important. The available water pressure in the system must be taken into account. Climatic conditions are also important.

In our experience, there are several aspects to consider. The spacing of the emitters should match the needs of the plants. The efficiency of the system must be adapted to the size of the area. The durability of the materials is crucial for long-term use.

When selecting drip lines, we pay attention to the specificity of the crops.   For fruit trees, systems with higher efficiency work well. For vegetables, lines with a denser spacing of emitters are better. For flowers, we recommend more delicate irrigation systems.

1. Determine the type and size of the area to be irrigated
2. Take into account the soil type and water needs of the plants
3. Check the available water pressure in the installation
4. Choose the right emitter spacing and efficiency
5. Decide between above ground or underground systems

We recently completed a project for a large fruit farm. The client needed an efficient irrigation system for 10 hectares of apple trees. We used Rainbird underground drip lines. The system provided even irrigation with minimal water consumption.

In the case of reorganizing green areas around office buildings, we often use ground lines. They allow for easy modification of the layout in the event of changes in the arrangement of space. For such applications, we recommend Cellfast brand products.

Benefits of using drip lines and tapes

Drip line systems offer many advantages over traditional methods.   First of all, they provide significant water savings. They reduce water consumption by up to 70% compared to surface irrigation. This translates into lower operating costs.

Drip lines allow for precise dosing of water and fertilizers. Thanks to this, plants develop better and produce higher yields. The system also minimizes the risk of fungal diseases. Water does not settle on the leaves, which limits the development of pathogens.

In our daily practice, we observe that customers value these systems for their convenience. Drip lines can be fully automated. This eliminates the need for manual watering. This saves time and labor, especially in the case of larger areas.

Many customers ask us about the energy efficiency of these systems. Drip lines operate at low pressure. As a result, they use less energy than sprinkler systems. This is another aspect that reduces operating costs.

Our experience shows that drip lines work well in various conditions. They are effective both on flat terrain and on slopes. They can be used in field crops, greenhouses or foil tunnels.

Onninen recommends drip line systems as a future-proof solution.   In the face of climate change and rising water costs, they are becoming increasingly popular. The investment in such a system pays off quickly through savings in water and energy consumption.
