New Technology
Less water - More yield
ecotube is the first permeable subterranean irrigation system (colloquial soaker tube) for industrial agriculture, with an even water distribution of 100 m.
It is an underground irrigation system mainly made from recycled tyres.
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 zone of the plant.
The only 3 in 1 System
In addition to homogeneous subsurface irrigation and Fertigation, it is possible to to aerate the root zone of the plants.
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.

Irrigation
Water is being delivered homogeneously to the root zone with a discharge rate of 1,3 l/h/m.
Fertigation
Liquid fertilizer can be used with the ecotube to directly feed it to the plants roots.
Aeration
With a compressor, air can be inserted in the same system, to bring oxygen to the root zone.
Hydroponic Solution
ecotube circle
Planting in pots is becoming increasingly important, especially for berries but also in fruit and ornamental plant cultivation. Irrigation and fertilization play a crucial role.
With the ecotube circle subsurface root irrigation can now be applied to pots, e.g. blueberries.
The existing infrastructure can be used because the ecotube circle can be connected directly to the drippers on the main line
Ecotube Circle
From berries to cannabis pots
Customers who already have an existing infrastructure for hydroponic growth of berries can adapt the ecotube circle very easily. It connects to the dripper on the main line. The ecotube circle itself needs to be inserted into the pot at a depth of around 10-20 cm.
Succesful installations have been executed for blueberries, flowers and cannabis.
The growth of the roots is a lot more homogenous around due to the circling water distribution of the ecotube circle. Especially for pots, an active aeration can play a crucial role for the well being of the plants.
