Corn

CORN (SDI)

The drip tape used in corn crops is generally installed subsurface (SDI) approximately 12″ – 16″ (30 -40 cm) below the surface. Corn crops can also be irrigated on the surface, but this is less common method. The key to both installing and retrieving drip tape in SDI applications is making sure the installations are done at a consistent spacing between drip tape laterals and at a consistent depth. Installed correctly helps to make extraction much easier. Andros Equipment is designed to be highly efficient and accurate, helpings growers easily cover large acreages.
