Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI)
Subsurface Drip Irrigation is a modern irrigation technique that can be utilized on a variety of vegetables and commodity crops. Furthermore, an SDI system can be made to fit a variety of field shapes and elevation changes that neither flood irrigation nor center-pivot irrigation systems suit. With proper management systems installed by Multi-States Irrigation can last for decades. Its benefits are both substantial and numerous and include:
Increased Water Uniformity
Increased Water Efficiency
Decreased Water Use
Decreased Energy Use
Decreased Fertilizer Amount Use
Increased Fertilizer Efficiency
Decreased Operation Labor Cost

What you can expect
The main thing a producer can expect from working with Multi-States Irrigation and our dealers is Quality. Quality is what we strive for and a quality irrigation system is what you will get. To ensure quality we use the highest quality tape: T-Tape and Chapin Tape, and the highest quality components.
We begin by visiting your field and surveying it with a GPS system to map out the shape and elevation changes. Then, if needed, a water sample is taken to ensure the well is suitable for an SDI system. Finally a quote is prepared and then, when you are ready, installation can begin.
What installation looks like
The first step is to plow in the drip tape.
After the tape is plowed in according to our design we lay the pipe and tie in the tape with the highest quality fittings.
Once the tape is tied in we complete the well tie-in which varies depending on the filters, control system, probe selection, and fertilizer system that the producer chooses to install based on their own needs. Our SDI systems are custom designed and vary greatly for every producer and every field.
