What Is a Dripline?

Dripline (also known as drip tape or lateral) is a flexible polyethylene tube with built-in emitters spaced evenly along its length. It delivers water slowly and directly at the root zone of plants. Unlike conventional sprinklers, driplines use low pressure (around 0.3–1.0 bar) and precise delivery to conserve water, reduce evaporation, and minimize weed growth. In Kenya, driplines are key in horticulture, greenhouse farming, and open-field agriculture.

Why Our 0.3 mm Dripline?

Controlled Irrigation

Implementing our dripline for irrigation enables control over the amount of water and soluble nutrients that plants receive. No excess or lower watering occurs thus efficient crop production.

Lower Weed Growth

Weed growth reduces because the land surfaces in between plants remain dry. Only the direct plant root zone gets irrigated.

Even Irrigation

All plants get sufficient and equal amounts of water and nutrients because the emitter holes in the driplines are of the same diameter and spacing.

Lower Water Wastage

Dripline accessories enhance precise irrigation, and this promotes water conservation as minimal amount goes to waste.

Less Labor Intensive

Once you have set up the dripline it only requires one person to open the valves during irrigation and close when done. It can also be automated to work on its own by using smart controllers which trigger irrigation at set intervals.

Lower Disease and Pest Activity

Diseases such as fungal infections of leaves are rare since the watering is done on the roots and does not wet the foliage. Also, pests are reduced because of lower weeds which often enhance pest activity.

Zero Running Costs

Driplines work through gravitational pressure flow and no cost is incurred in supply of water during irrigation. You only spend when installing the drip irrigation system.

Benefits of Using 0.3 mm Dripline for Irrigation 

1. Water Efficiency
   Drip irrigation delivers water directly at the roots, minimizing evaporation and run-off, proving especially effective in drought-prone Kenya.
2. Uniform Distribution
   Engineered emitters ensure consistent delivery. Double emitter designs help maintain flow even if one emitter clogs.
3. Reduced Disease & Weed Pressure
   Keeping foliage dry reduces fungal diseases, while dry inter-row spaces suppress weeds.
4. Labor & Energy Savings
   These systems leverage low-pressure gravity or pumps and support fertigation—applying water and nutrients simultaneously.
5. Flexibility
   Easily customized to fields of any shape and adaptable to varying soil types and crop patterns.

How to Install 0.3mm Dripline and Accessories

1. System Design & Sizing

• Define emitters per plant based on crop spacing.
• Choose line spacing carefully: 15 cm (dense), 20 cm (medium), 30 cm (wide).

2. Pressure & Filtration

• Ideal pressure ~0.3–1 bar; some systems need 0.3 bar minimum for operation.
• Install inline sediment filters and pressure regulators to avoid clogging.

3. Layout & Laying

• Roll out drip tape along beds; secure with 6″ stakes every 60–90 cm
• Cap line ends and flush before each season.

4. Fertigation Integration

• Connect fertilizer injector to mainline for nutrient delivery.

5. Maintenance

• Flush lines monthly, use acid flushes if needed.
• Store lines out of the sun between seasons; protect from rodents

Best Management Practices of 0.3mm dripline Irrigation Kits

1. Soil Monitoring: Use tensiometers or probes to check moisture.
2. Pressure Checks: Verify equal pressure across zones; adjust regulators monthly.
3. Seasonal Flushing: Detach and flush lines or run water to clean them every few weeks.
4. Filter Maintenance: Clean filters weekly during peak usage.
5. Storage & Protection: After harvest, store tapes indoors; guard against UV and rodents.
6. Record-Keeping: Log irrigation duration, fertigation cycles, and yields for improvements next season.
