Netafim Techline CV root barriers
The pitch: Physical root barriers in Techline CV Dripline inhibit plant intrusion.

• Physical root barriers in Techline CV micro-emitters protect the tubing from plant and tree root intrusion and are among the features built into Netafim’s subsurface dripline.
• The integral barriers deflect root growth without reliance on chemical applications.
• Root intrusion is also less of a concern if recommended dripline run times and frequency schedules are followed, and if the soil is kept moist so roots do not search for water.
