Up to 70% water saving
- Limits evaporation
- High water storage capacity
- No exposure to wind
- Even higher water saving effect if irrigation runs during night time
- Reduction of soil erosion and improved greening of sparsely vegetated areas
- Extremely good root penetration, prevention of stagnant water and less pest affection due to dryer topsoil line
Improved plant growth
- Almost 100 % even water distribution over the entire area to be irrigated
- Water supply directly at the roots
- First, the water is stored in the mat
- Then, the roots take the required amount of water from the mat
