AirJection Irrigation: Better Crop Yields

Most growers know that plant roots need air to breathe. Without it, soil can become anaerobic, inhibiting plant growth and yield. Mazzei AirJection® irrigation technology improves crop yields, water use efficiency and fertilizer inputs by getting just the right amount of air into the root zone.

It uses patented, high-efficiency Venturi AirJectors™ that are simple to install and maintain in subsurface irrigation systems. When added to the drip line, the AirJector incorporates atmospheric air into the irrigation water. This optimally blends air and water so the right mixture is delivered to the root zone. Commercial on-farm use shows that yields have been increased from 13% to 35% due to improved plant and soil conditions.

Benefits of AirJection Irrigation

Increases crop yield, root mass, sugar content, germination and fruit density
Allows earlier season harvest and improves late season production
Increased root mass results in greater nutrient uptake and reduced fertilizer application rates
Increased microbial activity in the soil improves growing environment
Improves water use efficiency
Ideal for all soil types, including high salt soil
Increases plant’s salinity tolerance
Superior construction for years of trouble-free operation
