Netafim Single Drip Stake Assembly (Pack of 25)

Netafim Single Drip Stake Assembly (Pack of 25) - Detailed Product Description

Maximize your yields and minimize water waste with the Netafim Single Drip Stake Assembly. This pre-assembled, ready-to-install system delivers precise and uniform watering directly to each plant, saving you time and resources. Ideal for a variety of applications, from vineyards and orchards to greenhouses and hydroponic systems.  

Key Features & Benefits:

• Pre-assembled Convenience: Reduce setup time significantly with these pre-assembled drip stake assemblies. Simply connect to your mainline and insert the stake.  
• Uniform Water Delivery: Achieve 94% watering uniformity, even on slopes, thanks to pressure compensating drippers. Eliminate wet and dry spots for consistent growth and higher crop values.  
• Water Conservation: Deliver water directly to the plant's root zone, eliminating runoff and overspray. Save water, fertilizer, and energy.  
• Pressure Compensating Drippers: Maintain a consistent flow rate (0.3 or 0.5 gph) across a wide pressure range (7-58 psi) with the patented pressure differential system. Ensures each plant receives the same amount of water, regardless of its position in the system.  
• Check Valve (CNL): Integrated check valve ensures simultaneous on/off operation of all drippers, preventing drainage and maintaining system pressure. 
• Clog-Resistant Design: The industry's widest flow path and continuous self-flushing mechanism minimize clogging, ensuring reliable performance.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials, including UV-resistant Super Flex White Polyethylene tubing that reflects sunlight and prevents algae growth. The solid white tubing is not coated, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to heat, sun, and chemicals.  
• Versatile Applications: Perfect for vineyards, orchards, greenhouses, nurseries, and especially well-suited for soilless substrates and hydroponic systems.  

Components:

• PC Drippers: Pressure compensating drippers with a built-in check valve. Maintain a constant flow rate from 10 to 45 psi.
• Angled Barbed Stake: Unique flow channel directs water into the container. The pointed end allows for easy insertion into various growing media.  
• Super Flex UV White Polyethylene (PE) Tubing: Reflective white tubing minimizes water temperature increases and prevents algae growth. Made from durable, UV-resistant plastic.  

Specifications:

• Flow Rate: 0.3 or 0.5 gallons per hour (gph)
• Tubing Length: 36 or 48 inches  
• Minimum Operating Pressure: 10 psi  
• Quantity: 25 stakes per pack

Ideal for:

• Vineyards & Orchards: Efficiently irrigate trees and vines, maximizing yields and minimizing water usage.
• Greenhouses & Nurseries: Provide precise watering for container plants, ensuring consistent growth and reducing disease pressure.
• Hydroponics & Soilless Growing: Deliver the exact amount of water and nutrients needed for optimal plant development in soilless media like rockwool or coco coir.  

Benefits for Hydroponics and Soilless Substrates:

The Netafim Dripper Stake Assembly excels in hydroponic and soilless applications. The precise, low-flow watering ensures thorough saturation of the growing media without runoff, maximizing nutrient uptake and minimizing waste. The PCNL dripper guarantees that each plant receives an equal and consistent amount of water and nutrients simultaneously, leading to healthier, more uniform growth. The ability to use smaller supply lines reduces system costs while maintaining excellent uniformity.  

Higher Uniformity = Higher Crop Values:

Unlike traditional sprinkler systems that often suffer from uneven coverage, Netafim Drip Stake Assemblies deliver water directly to each plant. This eliminates the problems of overwatering some areas and underwatering others, resulting in more consistent yields and higher quality crops. The precise application of water also minimizes water waste and reduces the risk of disease.
