Crop Applications

Subsurface Drip Irrigation Resource Center

Learn about the advantages of SDI systems, system components and typical layouts, and installation. How to start up, operate and maintain an SDI system. Review successful case studies on specific crops; corn, cotton, and alfalfa.

Single Use Dripline

The industry's highest quality, most durable and easy to use thinwall dripline.

Alfalfa

Of the common agronomic crops, alfalfa consumes the largest amount of water. Its consumptive use can exceed 46” of water per year. This fact combined with the real opportunity to drive solid yield increases are the main reason growers are interested in using drip irrigation on alfalfa. Find out more about how to increase yields by 25-40%.

Hemp Production

With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, Hemp is quickly becoming a significant agricultural crop. CBD Oil (Cannabidiol Oil) is driving the fervor over Hemp and bringing it back to life so to speak. Hemp is hard to grow due to decades of hemp prohibition preventing research and agronomic advancements, making it a tough road ahead to grow Hemp. With little resources and research available, prospective growers must walk and not run with the right partners and expectations in place. Find out what more you need to know before you grow.
