Injection system aerates soil consistently, uniformly
Mazzei AirJectionŽ Irrigation, in conjunction with sub-surface drip irrigation (SSDI), continually delivers a specific amount of air to the root zone during irrigation. When water enters the AirJectionŽ unit, air is drawn in, entrained in the water, and is then uniformly distributed to the plant roots through the SSDI lines. The entrained air then moves through the soil with water as the carrier. Past attempts to aerate the root zone typically involved injecting air directly into the soil with compressors, or air alone was pumped through SSDI lines. Using these methods, the air was not distributed effectively. The patented Mazzei AirJectionŽ Irrigation aerates water delivered to the root zone for increased root growth and yields.
