Drip Irrigation for Vineyards — wine and table grapes

Long-lifetime drip irrigation for wine grapes and table grapes: pressure-compensated driplines with anti-drain, deficit-irrigation-ready scheduling, filtration sized to source-water and pumping with VFD control for uniform emission across steep and long-run blocks.

Direct answer

Above-ground or sub-surface drip in vineyards?

Above-ground on the vine row is standard for wine grapes; sub-surface drip (SDI) is used on flat vineyards where mechanical operations dominate. Both share the same fertigation and filtration 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.

Emitter spacing
0.5–1.0 m along the vine row
Emitter flow
1.0–2.3 L/h pressure-compensated with anti-drain
Peak crop water demand
3–6 mm/day depending on canopy and climate
Fertigation
Injection head for potassium- and calcium-driven programs
Filtration
Disc filter 120 mesh minimum; hydrocyclone for well water
Typical block
5–200 ha, sloped terrain common

System components

Heavy-wall PC driplines

20+ year design life with anti-drain and anti-siphon options for sloped and long-run vineyard rows.

Fertigation head

Injection heads for balanced fertigation, deficit irrigation strategies and pre-harvest water cut.

Filtration

Automatic backflush disc filters plus hydrocyclone or sand filter where source is groundwater or river.

Pump & VFD

Booster pump sized to head loss on long submains, VFD-controlled for zoned block operation.

Sensors & controls

Soil-moisture probes, stem-water potential integration and ET-based scheduling.

Why drip for vineyard

  • Precise regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) for wine quality control.
  • Uniform emission on sloped blocks with anti-drain and PC emitters.
  • 20+ year dripline lifetime amortizes CAPEX across many vintages.
  • Fertigation supports potassium- and calcium-driven programs without labour.
