ecotube circle - efficient pot irrigation
The cultivation in pots, especially for berries but also in fruit, and ornamental plant cultivation, is gaining increasing interest. Irrigation and fertilization play a crucial role in this process.
To make irrigation even more efficient, the ecotube circle has been developed. It provides homogeneous subsurface irrigation for pots and can be connected to the existing infrastructure using a dripper.
If you would like to learn more about the ecotube circle, please contact us.
Imagine an irrigation system that allows the plant to determine how much water it needs.
With the introduction of EGI, the future of water-efficient and plant-friendly irrigation has begun. The need for complex irrigation controls and direct access to the water source is unnecessary.
Areas that were previously outside of the water infrastructure can be efficiently irrigated, saving water, fertilizers, and energy!
We would be happy to adviseyou how to use EGI for your cultivation.
TECHNOLOGY
The constant water release forms a homogeneous, humid zone and provides the plant with the required amount of water. Due to its permeable nature, additional nutrients or oxygen can be distributed directly into the root area of the plant.
ecotube requires almost no maintenance.Larger systems can be operated worldwide fully automatic via Remote Access.
Due to its underground installation, ecotube is far more durable than conventional irrigation systems.
Please contact our experts to help you make the right choice for your plants.

FEATURES
BENEFITS
The plant thanks the optimal supply in the so-called"feel-good area" with significantly increased crop yields of up to 30%.
In addition, ecotube ensures a sustainably improved quality and resistance of the plant.
ecotube saves up to 58% water!
The permeable line irrigation system ensures a continuous and even supply of water to the root area. It will provide just as much water as needed by the plant for optimal growth.
ecotube enables a highly efficient distribution of fertilizer directly at the roots of the plant.
This results in savings of cost-intensive fertilizers of up to 30%, analogue to the saved water.
NO SODIFICATION
Conventional irrigation methods lead to salinization of the surface or to accumulation of water-soluble salts in the soil (sodification), particularly in arid areas.
The underground installation of ecotube prevents such salinization of the soil.
LONGEVITY
ecotube impresses with its high processing quality Made in Germany. The secret is high tensile strength combined with sufficient permeability and homogeneity over its entire length.
At the same time, ecotube is protected from environmental influences or destruction, e.g. rodents, sunlight (UV) or agricultural vehicles, through the underground installation.
ecotube guarantees an even water discharge at very low water pressure of approx. 0.6 bar over a tube length of more than 100 metres.
The plants regulate the quantity of water themselves by means of a measurable suction tension of the root system.
Through ecotube, plants develop stronger and deeper roots, which in combination with soil additives lead to a considerably improved and measurable soil structure in the long term.
SUSTAINABILITY
ecotube not only contributes to the environmental protection through high water savings and low fertilizer consumption.
ecotube is mainly made of recycled tyre granulate mixed with polyethylene. The ecotube itself is 100% recyclable and convinces with its long longevity, which makes it ecologically sustainable.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The roots are supplied with water-soluble liquid fertilizer by ecotube in a specific and economical way.
30% fertilizer saved compared to surface applications reduces the burden on flora and fauna accordingly.
Due to the installation below surface, ecotube is the perfect choice for applications in which conventional systems would influence the overall aesthetic impression negatively .
APPLICATIONS
ecotube impresses with the overwhelming number of advantages over conventional irrigation systems.
The documented results testify the beginning of a new era within industrial irrigation.
Applications:
Olives, dates, almonds, citrus fruits, berries, vegetables etc.

In particular, ecotubeis used where it is necessary to achieve the greatest possible yield in the smallest area.Greenhouses, film tunnels but also the home garden benefit from efficient irrigation by ecotube.
Applications:
Tomatoes, strawberries, eggplants, flowers etc.
Beetroot - South Africa
Tomatoes - Ghana
Gardens - Tunis, Tunisia
LANDSCAPING
ecotube ensures evenly landscaped parks that can be continuously irrigated without the typical disadvantages of sprinklers (burns of the lawn, drying out of local areas, etc.)
Applications:
Lawns, flowers etc.
Parks - Tunis, Tunisia
SPORTS FACILITIES
With ecotube the properties of the lawn improve noticeably. An extended and strengthened root system provides a much more resistant turf, which offers considerable qualitative and monetary benefits, especially on football fields, due to the increased service life (no lawn changes required).
Applications:
Football, golf, tennis etc.
Football fields– PSV Eindhoven
SPECIAL AREAS
Applications:
Concrete constructions, pond aearation, forrestation, fish farms etc.
Concret constructions - Holland, Belgium
PROJECTS
Here are some of the many references which we have realized around the world.
PLANT: Olives
YEAR OF INSTALLATION: 2018
DESCRIPTION:
Ecotube was installed in two lines, left and right of each tree.
The results of the yield were much better then what was achieved prior to ecotube with drip irrigation.
The trees have developed stronger roots and used less water since the installation. Even in the hot summer month, the irrigation quantity is sufficient.
LOCATION: Gafsa, Tunisia
PLANT: Date palm
YEAR OF INSTALLATION: 2018
DESCRIPTION:
The ecotube was installed in a circular way inside the ground around the stem of the date palms.
Since then, this customer has been irrigating exclusively through root irrigation, feeding the water direct where it is needed.
The results after one year are extraordinary. He achieved 50% more yield despite the extremely hot climate during the summer month where temperatures reach up to 45°C.
LOCATION: Chiemgau, Germany
PLANT: Blueberry
YEAR OF INSTALLATION: 2020
DESCRIPTION:
Organic farmer of blueberries in the south of Germany.
He installed ecotube for his existing four year old bushes in March 2020.
So far ecotube has performed perfectly and resulted in excellent plant growth.
Harvest results will be availabe in 2021.
LOCATION: Saudi Arabia
PLANT: Eggplant
YEAR OF INSTALLATION: 2016
DESCRIPTION
Eggplants in Saudi Arabia are usually planted in sandy soils inside a greenhouse with temperatures rising upt to 50°C.
With the utilization of ecotube, the harvest could be done two weeks earlier and the biomass was 48% higher in comparison to conventional drip irrigation systems.
All while saving aproximately 90% water. Most of it due to no evaporization.
In the picture, the plants on the left have been watered with drip irrigation while the one on the right have been watered with ecotube.
