INNARI mipotube - Underground Irrigation System

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.

• 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.

• Installation depth: 15 cm - 50 cm
• Distance: 20 cm - 1m
• Flow rate: 4 - 6 l/m*h
• Pressure range: 0,2 - 1,0 bar, Optimum: 0,6 bar
• Compatible with standard components: 1/2 “
• Maximum laying length without pressure loss: 100 m
• Filtering in poor water quality: 120 mesh

In professional usage the mipotube® is used in agriculture, landscaping, horticulture and for public sports venues.

Depending on the plant and terrain different installation techniques are used. From a manual laying up to special laying machines we offer various custom options.

Basically the mipotube® is laid between the planted rows that are to be irrigated. Here the tube distributes the water as a natural membrane over its entire area and its entire length. Thereby, the ground around the mipotube® becomes a humid zone due to the natural capillary. In order to obtain optimal results, the spacing of the rows is selected in relation to the soil conditions and the plant species.
