Metzer offers PC and non-PC drippers (Vered, Adi, Vardit, Idit, Gali) suited for varying pressure, terrain, and planting layouts, enabling optimal performance in every orchard.
Yes, with caution. Clay soils need ridges to avoid root rot, while sandy soils require tight dripper spacing to reduce leaching. Metzer systems are tailored to each case.
Annual demand ranges from 500–1,000 mm depending on variety, age, and climate. Irrigation must be adjusted seasonally based on evapotranspiration (ET) rates.
Drip systems avoid trunk wetting and deliver water right to the roots, reducing phytophthora risk, evaporation, and energy use, especially in windy or hot climates.
Metzer’s CleanLine technology protects driplines from clogging caused by saline or treated wastewater. It ensures longevity and yield stability under non-conventional water use.
Growers must manage salt sensitivity, shallow roots, water stress, and trunk rot. Improper irrigation increases risks of fruit drop, small size, and disease pressure.
Citrus trees are shallow-rooted and highly sensitive to moisture imbalance, salinity, and overwatering. Precision irrigation ensures uniform growth, fruit quality, and disease prevention
