Generally crops with leafy greens like Lettuce, Arugula, Cabbage, Kale, Collards, Radishes, and the like, are most benefited by overhead irrigation. (Drip irrigation still has its place on crops like Tomatoes, Peppers and Cucumbers. Also, leafy greens may benefit from drip in the winter — when moisture and humidity are extra high.) In the summer months, use our overhead irrigation system with shade cloth for evaporative cooling on leafy greens.
Drip irrigation is the ideal choice for plants susceptible to foliar diseases, including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and eggplants. Without overhead watering, which can spread disease, your plants will be healthier than ever! Drip irrigation is also an excellent solution for crops grown under plastic mulch (watermelon, squash, pumpkins, strawberries, etc.) as other irrigation methods may not effectively reach the roots of the plants.
