It a small device within a drip irrigation system that delivers a slow, controlled stream of water directly to the plant's root zone, essentially acting as a tiny outlet that emits water drops at a regulated rate.
Features
:- Controlled Flow Rate: They regulate the amount of water dispensed, allowing for precise watering based on plant needs. This can be a fixed rate, or adjustable.
- Reduced Weed Growth: Because only the targeted area is watered, weed growth between plants is minimized.
- Erosion Control: The slow and steady delivery of water prevents soil erosion.
- Water Conservation: By delivering water directly to the roots, they significantly reduce water consumption compared to traditional irrigation methods.
Applications
:- Used to deliver water to plants, usually at the root zone.
