Product catalog summary
Introduction to PMDI Technology
The Precision Mobile Drip Irrigation (PMDI™) system by Netafim USA combines the efficiency of surface drip irrigation with the flexibility of center pivot and linear move systems. This patented technology enhances water application efficiency by delivering water and nutrients directly to the soil, optimizing plant growth.
Key Features
  • Simple: Minimal components, easy installation and maintenance.
  • Reliable: Utilizes quality Netafim products.
  • Affordable: Cost-effective compared to subsurface drip systems, compatible with any center pivot or linear move model.
Benefits
  • Ideal for water-restricted environments, maintaining yields with lower water availability.
  • Potential for 20-30% water savings compared to conventional systems.
  • Improves crop quality and yields, with up to 20% yield increases over conventional systems.
System Operation
The PMDI system uses Netafim’s DripNet PC™ dripline, attached to a center pivot or linear move system. The dripline is dragged through the crop, delivering a uniform water pattern and reducing inefficiencies like evaporation and wind drift. This ensures deeper water penetration to the root zone.
Design and Components
  • DripNet PC driplines feature pressure-compensating emitters spaced every 6 inches.
  • Manifolds and driplines are available in various spacings (20”, 22”, 30”, 40”) to suit different soil types and crops.
  • Components include polyethylene tubing, DripNet PC dripline, and various fittings.
Specifications and Ordering
  • Example system for short crops: 125 acres, 0.25” application/day, 588 gallons per minute, 30” lateral spacing.
  • Ordering information includes model numbers, flow rates, emitter spacing, and coil lengths for various components.
Additional System Components
  • Filters, valves, air vents, and water meters are available for system protection and accurate water measurement.
