As part of its commitment to developing environmentally friendly products, VENTAS INTERNACIONALES S.A. offers the exuding hose VISA REG: a seepage irrigation system made from a technical textile hose.

This hose irrigates based on the basic principles of pressure and gravity: water seeps through the small pores in the wall of the porous textile hose, creating a continuous, wide, and uniform moisture band in the soil along the entire length of the irrigation lines. Thanks to its flexible, porous structure, VISA REG has features that make it an excellent tool for localized irrigation.

TEXBOR AND PORITEX: THE BEGINNINGS OF VISA REG

VISA REG is an exudation irrigation system that already has many years of history and many projects behind it: it was previously marketed under the name Poritex, but implemented some changes and became VISA REG when VENTAS INTERNACIONALES S.A. reached an agreement with its partner and manufacturer of this exudation hose for irrigation, the company Texbor.

EXUDATIVE TUBE CHARACTERISTICS

1. Ecological irrigation system: Saves water, energy and can be recycled.
2. Above or below ground: It can be installed on the surface of the orchard or garden or buried underground.
3. Enables fertigation: It allows the supply of water-soluble fertilizers and plant protection products through the irrigation system.
4. 16 mm diameter fittings: Compatible with irrigation accessories of 16 mm.
5. Resistant: To UV rays, breakage, temperature and weathering. Remains unalterable in its length and working capacity.

VISA REG IRRIGATION SYSTEM APPLICATIONS

This seepage irrigation system maintains optimal moisture in the root zone, without waterlogging or water loss due to wind. For this reason, it can be installed in multiple areas to provide the hydration plants need in a controlled and uniform way:

– In gardening and landscaping: flower beds, motorways, green spaces, hedges, planters, gardens, nurseries, lawns, terraces, trees, etc.

– In greenhouses: horticulture, floriculture, hydroponics, seedbeds, etc.

– In the field: fruit trees, nurseries, horticultural crops, cotton, vineyards, floriculture, tobacco, palm trees, etc.

VISA REG EXUDATE TUBE FORMATS

Commercially the exudative pipe is presented in reels of 15 m, 25 m, 50 m, 100 m, 200 m and 400 m. VENTAS INTERNACIONALES S.A. can thus cover any type of demand: from those who wish to irrigate a small flower bed or garden to the installation of the exudation irrigation system in large agricultural areas.

URBAN GARDEN KIT

As a new product this season, the Garden Kit has also been introduced: an ideal format for those who have a small vegetable garden or garden (up to 15 m2) and want to install an efficient, eco-friendly irrigation system. The Garden Kit contains everything needed to install 5 irrigation lines very easily.

Sustainable irrigation has become a priority in modern agriculture, especially in the face of water scarcity challenges and the need to maximize natural resources. One technique that is revolutionizing water management in crops is weeping irrigation, an efficient and environmentally friendly solution. In this article, we explain what this technology consists of, its benefits, and how it contributes to more sustainable agriculture.

What is weeping irrigation?

Weeping irrigation is a localized irrigation system that uses porous tubes designed to release water uniformly along their length. Through small pores in the material, water diffuses in the form of drops or a continuous band of moisture, allowing precise and constant supply directly to plant roots.

Unlike other methods such as drip irrigation, weeping irrigation ensures uniform water distribution even on irregular terrain or with low pressure, making it especially useful for extensive crops, urban gardens, and sustainable landscapes.

Benefits of weeping irrigation in sustainable agriculture

Implementing weeping irrigation in agricultural systems offers a series of advantages that not only optimize water use but also support sustainability principles. Among the most notable benefits are:

1. Water savings
   This system uses between 40% and 60% less water compared to traditional methods, as application is precise and minimizes losses from evaporation or runoff.
2. Lower energy consumption
   Because it does not require high pressures to operate, weeping irrigation reduces energy use in water pumping, making the system more efficient and reducing its carbon footprint.
3. Uniform nutrient application
   This system is compatible with fertigation, allowing fertilizers to be distributed uniformly and avoiding harmful accumulations for plants and soil.
4. Resistance to clogging
   Thanks to its design, porous tubes are less likely to clog, even when using organic fertilizers or variable quality water.
5. Long service life
   The materials used in weeping irrigation are designed to last up to 20 years, reducing the need for frequent replacements and generating less waste.
6. Greater agricultural productivity
   By providing plants with a constant amount of water in the right place, their development and yield are improved, achieving more abundant and healthier harvests.

Weeping irrigation and its role in sustainable agriculture

Sustainability in agriculture involves reducing environmental impact, maximizing efficient use of resources, and ensuring long-term profitability. Sustainable irrigation, in this case through weeping, contributes significantly to these objectives.
This system allows farmers to adapt to a changing environment, especially in areas with water scarcity or drought problems, without compromising crop quality or ecosystem balance.

Sustainable weeping irrigation is a key tool for agriculture, offering an efficient, economical, and ecological alternative to optimize water use in crops. With its ability to improve agricultural productivity and minimize environmental impact, this system is positioned as a future solution for farmers committed to caring for the planet.

If you are looking to implement innovative solutions to make your irrigation system more efficient, at VISA we offer products such as VIS Reg, designed specifically to enhance the benefits of weeping irrigation. Discover more and take the step toward a sustainable future!
