  Growing in Soilless Cultures  
     
  Challenge  
 

Most soilless substrates require frequent irrigation to maintain the air-water ratio. The use of small growing containers requiring low frequency irrigation is increasing. Result - reduced water quantities for crops.

Solution
Relatively small spacing between drippers. Low flow rates. Anti drain properties. Uniform irrigation with short application options.

Canals and Gutters
For ground-based or suspended containers needing frequent pulse irrigation:
Uniram CNL

 

High-precision compensating dripper (anti drain). Shuts down at the end of the irrigation cycle without emptying sub-mains and laterals. Simultaneous reopening of drippers ensures uniform irrigation throughout the greenhouse.

   
 
 

Potted Plants and Rock Wool Cubes
Each plant pot or rock wool cube is an independent growing unit. To ensure equal and precise water and nutrients, every unit needs its own compensating dripper:
PCJ-CNL
A compact on-line dripper with a drop-leading stake is the optimal irrigation solution for this growing technology.

 
     
 

Anti drain model prevents irrigation lines from emptying and refilling between irrigation applications. Addition of a drop-leading stake helps growers customize droplet size suited to the type and dimension of the pot or rock wool cube as well as the plant’s age and irrigation regime.
