with ROOTGUARD

The ROOTGUARD

Advantage

• Higher Yields

Water and nutrients delivered directly to the

root zone at regular short intervals, promote

healthy plant growth and reduce stress.

• Substantial Water Savings

Improved irrigation system efficiency, combined

with the ability to schedule short and frequent

irrigation run time rates eliminate run-off as

well as deep percolation.

• Healthier, Better Quality Crops

Soil surface and foliage is kept dry, reducing

fungal diseases caused by moisture on the soil

surface and resulting high humidity in the

canopy.

• Further Water Savings

Water loss due to evaporation is eliminated.

As less water is applied overall, so is less salts,

found in the water, applied.

• Improved Soil Aeration

Fine soil particles are not washed down,

decreasing soil compaction and thus improving

root growth.

• Fewer Chemicals

Large volumes of irrigation water do not wash

fungicides, insecticides and herbicides away.

• Fewer Weeds

A dry soil surface reduces germination.

DripIn with ROOTGUARD ® Micro-Irrigation The ROOTGUARD® Advantage • Higher Yields Water and nutrients delivered directly to the root zone at regular short intervals, promote healthy plant growth and reduce stress. • Substantial Water Savings Improved irrigation system efficiency, combined with the ability to schedule short and frequent irrigation run time rates eliminate run-off as well as deep percolation.

More ROOTGUARD® Advantage: • Longer Irrigation System Life The Drip In emitters and tubing are made with durable polymers. When placed underground the system is protected from damaging ultra violet rays and temperature fluctuations. The lack of evaporation around the subsurface dripper also eliminates any chemical build-up such as bicarbonates. It has been noted that Drip In with ROOTGUARD deters clogging normally associated with bacterial slime build up in the drip emitter.

Comparison Table Subsurface drip Surface drip Given the same amount of water, Subsurface Drip Irrigation Covers a 46% larger wetted volume of soil than a surface drip system. This decreases the saturation point of the soil, which not only leaves room for more air, but also improves the capillary movement of water and decreases the water lost to deep percolation.

DripIn Dripline ® Subsurface Dripline with the ROOTGUARD® Advantage Drip In Classic ® Drip In PC ® Drip In Dripline Advantages: The In-line Emitter is a labyrinth type, turbulent flow dripper. The emitter is enclosed and inseparably welded to the inside wall of the tubing as it is extruded in the manufacturing process. This emitter has enjoyed over 25 years of reliable performance in a variety of applications. ©2014 The Toro Company Micro-Irrigation Business 1588 N.
