Drip Irrigation for Strawberry — greenhouse, tunnel and open-field
Precision drip and fertigation for commercial strawberry production — table-top substrate systems for greenhouse and tunnel growers, plastic-mulched open-field beds and everbearer programs, with fertigation sized for the tight EC and pH windows strawberry demands.
Table-top substrate or open-field drip?
Table-top substrate is standard for high-value greenhouse and tunnel programs with recirculation; open-field drip under plastic mulch is used for larger seasonal programs. Both share the same fertigation stack.

Typical design envelope
Reference parameters used to open the RFQ. Final values are sized by our engineers against source-water, soil and crop stage.
System components
Thin-wall PC drip tape with narrow emitter spacing for gutter or trough-mounted coco substrate.
Thin-wall PC drip tape under plastic mulch on raised beds with fumigation-compatible layout.
Multi-channel dosing head with EC/pH probes for the tight strawberry nutrient window.
Automatic disc filters with fine mesh; hydrocyclone or sand filter where source-water is loaded.
High-frequency short-pulse scheduling controller with substrate moisture and drain EC sensing.
Why drip for strawberry
- High-frequency pulse irrigation supports substrate strawberry without leaching.
- Tight EC/pH control raises Brix and marketable yield.
- Uniform emission across long beds protects against uneven fruiting.
- Compatible with fumigated plastic-mulch systems in the open field.
FAQ
Table-top substrate is standard for high-value greenhouse and tunnel programs with recirculation; open-field drip under plastic mulch is used for larger seasonal programs. Both share the same fertigation stack.
The fertigation head measures EC and pH continuously, doses per irrigation cycle, and the controller manages short-pulse scheduling to prevent EC drift in the substrate or root zone.
Yes — the same drip and fertigation stack is used from propagation trays through production, with emitter spacing and pulse strategy adjusted per stage.
