“Professor… I was interested in seeing the photos of the wetting patterns around the vegetables. I think we can help to conserve more water. You may not have seen our system but it has shown very good wetting patterns in the sands of Dubai through the summer period and I am interested in helping to conserve water and nutrients too.

THE NEW GENERATION IN SUBSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION

Anything else is a waste of water!

As featured on ABC’s The New Inventors – 2005 & 2008

If you could irrigate by capillary action what would you gain?

Because Kisss applies water directly to the root zone the following benefits are obtained:

  • Up to 70% less water than sprinkler systems
  • Up to 50 % less than above ground drip irrigation
  • Up to 30% less than subsurface drip irrigation
  • Reduced weed germination on the surface
  • Eliminates vandalism
  • Safe efficient fertilizer application
  • Improved resistance to disease
