Manufacturer Spotlight: Netafim USA
THE NETAFIM STORY
Netafim was founded in 1965 by farmers and agronomists on the idea that micro-irrigation is a solution to one of the world’s most urgent problems: lack of quality water for food production. That idea is still at the heart of all Netafim products, which are designed to promote water conservation.
Today Netafim is among the largest irrigation companies in the world, with factories and offices in over 120 countries. Netafim USA, a division of the Netafim International Group, is headquartered in Fresno, California. Netafim USA offers a full-line of drip irrigation products for a variety of markets including Agriculture, Landscape & Turf, Greenhouse & Nursery, Mining and Wastewater. Our products are sold through Dealers and Distributors in Canada, the United States and the Caribbean.
DRIP IRRIGATION ADVANTAGE
Dripline consists of flexible polyethylene tubing with emitters permanently welded to the tubing’s wall. The emitters slowly emit specified amounts of water and nutrients, at low pressure, directly to the plant’s root zone. Landscape professionals have long recognized the benefits of drip irrigation for new plantings. Lush landscapes can be maintained using as much as 50% less water than with other methods. Immediately available to the root zone, water isn’t wasted through evaporation, wind overspray, mist or surface run off. Foliage is kept dry, greatly reducing fungal diseases. Drip irrigation also eliminates bothersome stains on buildings and lessens the potential for liability that can arise from slippery sidewalks.
