The mipotube® Irrigation System
The centerpiece of the irrigation system of the INNARI Innovation Nature Irrigation GmbH is the mipotube®. The mipotube® is a porous membrane tube which is laid underground and thus accurately irrigates plants of any kind directly at the roots. If necessary, the plants can also be supplied directly through the tube with fertilizer and oxygen.
The plants evolve optimally by the targeted and coordinated water supply. This shows among other things in increased yields in agriculture by up to 30 % after switching from conventional irrigation methods to the mipotube® irrigation system.
However, the biggest advantage compared to traditional irrigation methods is reflected in the water savings: The mipotube® irrigation system saves up to 75% of water.
Advantages
Save water
Water conservation by targeted irrigation adapted to the plant directly at the roots and thus no loss of water through evaporation; Water savings up to 75 %.
Reduced fertilizer use
In addition to water, also liquid fertilizer can be added directly by the mipotube® to the plant. The targeted use after analysis of soil samples obtained a saving of fertilizers up to 50 %.
Increase of crop yields
With mipotube® the crop yields on the same land increase by up to 30 % compared to conventional irrigation systems.
Long service life
With proper installation and use, the mipotube® is at least 20 years of service (when used correctly at trees, for example Date palms or apple trees, the mipotube® remains in use over the entire lifetime of the plant).
Sustainable
The mipotube® is made of recycled rubber from used tires and polyethylene and is in turn itself fully recyclable. The production process is CO2 neutral.
Organic production
Due to the dry surface less pests are attracted. The use of pesticides is greatly reduced or even completely avoided. Organic products can be easily produced.
Irrigation automatic
The automatic irrigation controls save time and staff.
Hardly weed growth
Because of the lack of surface moisture when using the mipotube® irrigation system the germination and growth of weeds is avoided.
Healthy plant growth
With proper treatment, healthy growth and thus healthy, robust plants are obtained.
No space requirements
By underground laying there is no obstruction on arable land, sports venues or parks.
Turf heating
The mipotube® can not only irrigate and fertilize a football turf. It can drainage the turf e.g. in the case of heavy rain, as well as aerate and heat it in winter.
Root development
Better and denser rooting compared to conventional irrigation systems.
No cleaning necessary
No clogging of the tube through soil, sand, dirt or roots.
Barrier-free irrigation
Thanks to the subterrean laying of the mipotube® irrigation system disturbances in agricultural work or in the use of green areas are avoided.
Soil analysis
Each soil and each plant has specific requirements that are there to be observed. To ensure an optimal result, we analyse soil samples of the operational area. Factors such as soil texture (such as sandy or loamy), nutrient content and soil organisms, etc. are examined and compared to your chosen crops and their claims. Based on the results we create an individual concept for optimum laying of mipotube® and for fertilizing your growing area. So you achieve ideal results in plant growth and harvest.
Liquid fertilizer
Based on the results of soil analysis, we provide on request the liquid fertilizer adapted to your soil and your plant. The liquid fertilizer can be put directly with the water into the mipotube® and therefore reaches precisely the roots of the plant. Through these methods, up to 50% of your previous fertilizer consumption can be saved.
mipotube®
The centerpiece of the irrigation system of the INNARI Innovation Nature Irrigation GmbH is the mipotube®. The mipotube® is a porous membrane tube which is laid underground and thus accurately irrigates plants of any kind directly at the roots. If necessary, the plants can also be supplied directly through the tube with fertilizer and oxygen. Due to its membrane-like surface it distributes the water over its entire surface and irrigates your plants on a distance up to 100 meters evenly. Its special structure also prevents the ingrowth of roots and clogging by dirt. The mipotube® is made to the main part from recycled tires and polyethylene, is contaminant-free and fully recyclable again.
Training
The concept of underground irrigation is new to many farmers and other users. The application of the technique must be correct in order to achieve optimal results. The fact that due to the subterrean irrigation you cannot see that the soil is irrigated, often leads to irritation and the false assumption that the plant would not get enough water. Consequently, the training by our professional staff is part of our mipotube® irrigation system. Here, the operation is not only explained but the correct installation and use of our technology also trained and in the following years, refreshed by regular training again.
