IN-HOUSE MANUFACTURING REDUCES COSTS
Agrico manufactures various components in our own factories in order to supply you with drip and micro irrigation solutions at an affordable price.
Most Agrico micro and drip-irrigation systems are delivered directly to you, on the farm, adding to your convenience and helping cut transport costs.
EXTENSIVE KNOW-HOW
Comprehensive knowledge on micro and drip-systems, paired with extensive design expertise, help us to recommend the optimal irrigation solution for your requirements.
Agrico represents top suppliers of micro and drip-irrigation. We are familiar with the full product ranges of companies such as Netafim and Agriplas, and have large teams of engineering designers who share new knowledge with each other to ensure the correct product selection for your farm.
RESPECT FOR WATER
We take care to select the most effective spray packages to suit your crop.
We pay attention to ideal droplet size, system pressure, application rate and application depth to minimise evaporation, run-off, overwatering and other wastage.
CUSTOM-MADE FOR YOUR FARM
An incorrectly designed system that causes you to over-irrigate is not only a liability to your crop but also to your pocket.
Agrico delivers, installs and integrates tailor-made micro and drip-systems to suit your farming needs and help you create more value.
BENEFITS OF DRIP AND MICRO-IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
REDUCE WATER WASTAGE
Micro and drip-irrigation solutions limit water wastage by applying the water directly to the root zone, limiting evaporation and run-off.
PROMOTE HEALTHY PLAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
The perfect amount of water and nutrients reach the plant throughout the season, supporting healthy growth and development.
SAVE TIME AND MONEY
Micro and drip-irrigation are incredibly energy-efficient methods of irrigation since only low pressure is required. After water filtration, fertiliser and biological additives can be injected and thoroughly mixed with the water, and the pH level corrected, to perfectly suit the needs of your crop.
REDUCE PLANT STRESS
The constant watering cycle produced by a drip irrigation system reduces plant stress, making for happy plants that produce abundant crops.
AGRICO'S MICRO AND DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
Agrico stocks an extensive range of drip components and micro-sprinklers from leading suppliers in the industry.
Our Netafim and Agriplas drip and micro-sprinkler components and systems are ideal for nurseries, greenhouses, orchards, landscaping, gardening, vegetables, hydroponic systems and more.
Our systems are designed to reduce water consumption while promoting healthy root systems with consistently correct levels of moisture and nutrients. Our range of drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation systems includes drip tubes, online/discrete drippers, micro-sprinklers and a full range of system accessories.
EXPLORE OUR DRIP AND IRRIGATION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS BELOW
DRIP TUBE
Agrico stocks a wide variety of drip tubes, containing flat and cylindrical drippers, in all common spacings and flow rates, with and without pressure compensation.
Our drip tubes and drip lines are sourced from leading suppliers such as Netafim and Agriplas. Drip tubes and lines are manufactured from the highest quality virgin plastic resins to maintain durability throughout their lifetime.
Drippers and drip tubes curtail water usage while maintaining essential moisture and nutrient levels.
MICRO SPRINKLERS
Micro sprinklers provide localised, full surface irrigation, overhead, over a set diameter or radius.
Micro sprinklers allow you to cover a larger area more easily than drip irrigation and emitters, and allow for even, consistent applications that promote healthy growth.
Agrico’s range of micro sprinklers includes our popular in-house brand Anjet, as well as micro sprinklers from Agriplas, Netafim, Irritrol and Rain.
LDPE PIPES
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) pipes are ideal for drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation systems.
They can be used above or below ground, be routed around corners as required, and it is easy to connect micro sprinklers and drippers to the pipe by punching holes and inserting fittings.
Since all LDPE pipe used in agriculture in southern Africa contains recycled material, it is crucial that a reputable supplier is used.
Agrico manufactures its LDPE pipe using a large component of virgin polymer and uses only the highest quality of recycled material purchased from reputable suppliers.
DISCRETE DRIPPERS
Agrico stocks online/discrete drippers that are designed to deliver consistent flow rates for long run lengths and sloping terrain.
We supply various types of online drippers, including elbow arrow drippers, bubbler pressure compensated drippers and more. Our discrete drippers are sourced from Agriplas and Netafim, and feature industry-standard flow rates.
DRIP AND MICRO-IRRIGATION ACCESSORIES
Agrico’s range of drip and micro-irrigation accessories is indispensable when putting the complete irrigation solution together.
We stock industry standard accessories for drip and micro irrigation, including nozzles, clips, couplings, fittings, caps, barrels, washers, screws and much more.
FILTERS
Filtration is an indispensable part of drip and micro-irrigation systems, since these systems contain small nozzles and orifices which are easily, and in some cases permanently, clogged if debris and dirt is allowed to reach them.
We stock all types of filters commonly used in irrigation, including screen filters, sand filters, disc filters, which we manufacture in-house or purchase from reputable suppliers such as Azud, Netafim, Conns and Agriplas.
GET THE FULL PICTURE WITH 3D
Increasingly, Agrico drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation systems, along with their pump houses, are designed as digital 3D CAD models.
3D modelling allows us to design an optimal irrigation system more accurately, identifying problem areas upfront and addressing them before the first part is shipped. This process ensures that our irrigation systems are produced according to accurate specifications and bills of materials, and that every component within the system fits perfectly.
It also allows us to effectively communicate the offering to our customers, eliminating unwanted surprises when goods start arriving on site.
Lastly, it helps us shorten the time required to deliver and install a trustworthy system that meets all of your agricultural needs.
