The benefits of closer emitter spacing are numerous, but are all related to more effective water movement. When irrigating, you want water to move laterally, not deep down through the soil profile where it is either lost (including any fertilizers added) or is harder for plants to uptake. By keeping emitters spaced at close intervals, water flows laterally quicker, ensuring a continued wet strip along the row. In addition, more emitters per meter provides greater protection against crop loss if an emitter becomes blocked. A great thing is when you use T-Tape, closer emitter spacing intervals do not need to come at an extra cost. Because Rivulis T-Tape has emitters manufactured into the tape itself, as opposed to inserted molded emitters, there is no cost difference per meter between 10 emitters per meter (10 cm spacing) and two emitters per meter (50 cm spacing). [Or, there is no cost difference per foot between 300 emitters per 100ft (4in spacing) or 100 emitters per 100ft (12in spacing.
