5 Benefits of TERRAM NEO Ø16

The Ultimate Subsurface Drip Irrigation Solution

Are you tired of roots clogging the emitters in your drip irrigation system? Are you losing time and money due to maintenance caused by blockages or uneven water distribution?

In today's agriculture, water efficiency is no longer an option—it is a necessity. That is why Gestiriego has developed TERRAM NEO Ø16, a subsurface drip irrigation pipe designed to deliver maximum reliability by preventing clogging and ensuring consistent performance throughout the system's service life.

What is TERRAM NEO Ø16?

TERRAM NEO Ø16 is a dripline with integrated emitters specifically designed for Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) systems.

It features a 1 mm wall thickness and a next-generation emitter incorporating pressure-compensating, anti-siphon, and root-repellent technologies, ensuring a constant and reliable flow rate even under the most demanding operating conditions.

The Power of the Pressure-Compensating Integrated Dripper

One of the main advantages of TERRAM NEO Ø16 is its pressure-compensating integrated dripper.

Unlike conventional emitters, it maintains a uniform flow rate regardless of pressure fluctuations or field topography, ensuring that every plant receives exactly the same amount of water and nutrients.

Hydraulic engineering studies have shown that pressure-compensating irrigation systems can improve irrigation uniformity by up to 25%, resulting in healthier crops and more consistent yields.

Key Benefits
Greater water savings by delivering irrigation directly to the root zone while minimizing evaporation losses.
Reduced weed growth by keeping the soil surface dry.
Excellent chemical resistance, thanks to high-quality materials designed to withstand fertilizers and fertigation products.
Uniform water distribution, even on sloping terrain.
Reduced maintenance requirements, improving the long-term profitability of the irrigation system.
Anti-Siphon and Root-Repellent Technology

The true innovation behind TERRAM NEO Ø16 lies in its dual protection system.

When irrigation stops, conventional drip systems can create a vacuum that draws soil particles into the emitters, eventually causing clogging.

Gestiriego's anti-siphon technology automatically seals each emitter at the end of the irrigation cycle, preventing soil intrusion.

In addition, the dripline incorporates an advanced root-repellent technology that creates a protective zone around each emitter, preventing root intrusion and preserving long-term system performance.

Choosing TERRAM NEO Ø16 means investing in a solution specifically engineered for subsurface drip irrigation applications where reliability, uniformity, and durability are essential.

While conventional systems may suffer from clogging caused by soil particles or root intrusion over time, the combination of pressure-compensating, anti-siphon, and root-repellent technologies ensures consistent performance season after season.

Its design is focused on improving hydraulic efficiency, reducing maintenance requirements, and guaranteeing uniform water distribution, contributing to more efficient water management and a longer service life for the irrigation system.
