Since 1967, Netafim's R&D division has accumulated a depth of agronomic knowledge that enables it to respond to the specific irrigation needs of a field crop with exactly the right solution and the technological knowledge to develop drippers and sprayers for the most effective and accurate irrigation.

During the past 30 years of developing irrigation systems and Products, Netafim has launched 10 generations of drippers and Drip Irrigation Systems. From the very first generation of laminar flow dripper lines, to the latest generations of integrated, regulated drippers. Progress has been enormous, with each generation of drippers meeting the changing agricultural needs in the field.

Below are mentioned some of the different generations of drippers developed by Netafim, together with their main uses in crop field irrigation, surface drip irrigation, Irrigation and Subsurface drip Irrigation systems.

• Turbulent flow dripper lines: irrigation with a very strong water flow that washes out every particle of dirt from the pipeline.
• Regulated drippers: a unique patent enables drip irrigation in severely sloping conditions; also comprises an improved self-cleaning mechanism.
• Integrated drippers: an extension of drippers soldered to the pipe's interior wall; used in fields in which the pipes are rolled up at the end of the season and re-laid at the start of the next irrigation season.
• Integrated pipes: with extensions of regulated Ram drippers that are the world leaders in irrigation, and unregulated drippers soldered to pipes of varying wall thicknesses, like Tiran, Typhoon and Streamline.

During the last year, Netafim has launched the newest generation of regulated, integrated drippers, developed especially for the following sectors:

• Concealed drip irrigation
• Plantations with slopes
• Greenhouses (pulse irrigation)
• Anti-root penetration

Today, Netafim's R&D division continues to develop the drippers and dripper lines that will serve agricultural irrigation and will meet its challenges in the years to come head-on!
