Installing the Eco-Ag membranes in commercial applications can be accomplished with standard agricultural equipment and implements. In place of less efficient irrigation systems, the Eco-Ag membranes can be utilized in long run lengths that exceed the run lengths of standard drip lines.

The Eco-Ag membranes are substantially flatter when spooled, the linear meters per roll can greatly be increased. For the grower installing the irrigation system, this higher efficiency allows less stopping during installation for roll changes.

Installation of the Eco-Ag membranes in a growers field is easily accomplished with standard bed forming equipment. This Kenneco bedder was utilized in 600 foot length runs of Corn, Onions, and Tomatoes at a Developmental Technologies test facility.

The Eco-Ag technology can easily interface with standard agricultural practice. Multiple rows of plantings can be run simultaneously with standard farm equipment.

Unlike standard drip tube installation, the Eco-Ag membranes have no orientation (specified side up) in which to be installed. As there are no single emitter holes to become “plugged” with debris, the Eco-Ag membranes have superior performance due to millions of pores which act as emitters throughout the entire structure.

The Eco-Ag membranes easily interface with existing drip tubing manifolds and systems. Field installed slip fittings provide for the feed connections and simple knots can seal off the closed end without special sealers or other parts being required.
