ProductTERRAM NEO drip irrigation pipe for underground installations. New cylindrical pressure-compensating (PC) dripper with integrated anti-siphon (AS) function and a root repellent (R.G.I.) system. Designed for precise water, nutrient and agrochemical delivery at the plant root; enables underground installation with water savings up to 40% and extended service life. Developed by the R+D+i department with over 20 years of research.
Characteristics / Benefits- Anti-root system: patented root repellent incorporated in the dripper, slowly released for up to 10 years to prevent root penetration and blockages.
- Anti-siphon (AS): prevents soil particle suction when the system stops and pipes empty.
- Anti-obstruction: self-cleaning action where the membrane vibrates during pressure compensation to reduce particle embedding.
- Flow uniformity: symmetrical geometry and silicone membrane ensure consistent output across 0.5–3.5 bar, allowing longer lay lengths and use on uneven terrain. Category A emitter with low CV.
Applications- Fields with long lay lengths.
- Installations on challenging or uneven topography.
- Open-field and greenhouse crops requiring precise fertigation.
- Suitable crops: vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees.
- Gardening and landscape irrigation.
