Metzer offers PC drippers like Vered, Adi, and Assif for long laterals and slope compensation. CleanLine protects emitters from biofilm, ideal for using lower-quality water.
Proper irrigation during the cell expansion phase leads to larger fruit and better Brix levels. Under-irrigation during this stage reduces both yield and quality.
Depending on the region, mango orchards require up to 1,000 mm of water per year—often concentrated during flowering and fruit growth in arid zones.
Mangos are sensitive to salinity above 2.5 dS/m. Metzer systems help manage this by controlling salinity in the irrigation solution, especially when using treated wastewater.
Two laterals per row, evenly spaced, ensure uniform water distribution in the upper 60 cm of soil. Dripper spacing and flow are tailored to soil texture and tree needs.
Mango roots are concentrated in the top 30–50 cm of soil. Metzer’s drip lines deliver moisture directly to this layer, promoting nutrient uptake and improving water-use efficiency.
Although drought-tolerant, mangos need regular watering—especially during flowering, fruit set, and final maturation—to avoid stress, reduce fruit drop, and boost quality.
