When we talk about irrigation, most conversations focus on water efficiency, crop performance, and system design. Much less attention is given to what happens after the growing season ends. Once drip tape\film\pipe has been removed from the field, where does it go? How is it collected, transported and recycled? And perhaps more importantly, how can growers, irrigation suppliers and recyclers work together to make the entire system more sustainable? Over the past few weeks, I'

The objective is: delivering water evenly, efficiently, and consistently to the root zone. Choosing the right drip tape flow rate depends on several factors, including: • soil type • crop water demand • emitter spacing • lateral length • operating pressure • irrigation uniformity 1.
