Subsurface Drip Irrigation

Metzer’s Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone for high-efficiency irrigation.
It minimizes evaporation and runoff, improving crop yield while conserving resources.
Suitable for diverse crops and soils, with tailored designs and advanced emitter technologies.
Built for durability, SDI ensures long-lasting, sustainable performance.

Precise irrigation of the root zone

Precise irrigation of the root zone

By laying the dripline below the surface closer to the root zone, drip irrigation is made more accurate and efficient. SDI requires advance drippers with anti-siphon mechanism which prevents suction of soil at the end of the irrigation cycle. 

Benefits That Run Deep

Explore the real-world impact of subsurface irrigation technology.

Water Savings

Efficient drip delivery cuts water use and reduces costs.

Fertilizer Efficiency

Nutrients go straight to the roots, minimizing waste.

Root Health

Consistent moisture promotes deeper, stronger root systems.

Weed Control

Targeted irrigation limits weed growth between crops.

Lower Salinity

Dry soil surface prevents salt buildup from evaporation.

Low Maintenance

Protected systems reduce damage and upkeep needs.

Disease Reduction

Dry foliage and soil lower the risk of infection.

Tamper Proof
