SUMMARY

• AirJection Irrigation systems can increase root zone

aeration and add value to grower investments in SDI.

• The increase in yields and potential improvement in

soil quality associated with the root zone aeration

implies that the adoption of AirJection technology is

primarily a tool for increasing crop productivity.

• Because AirJection systems use ambient air, there

exists the potential to use this system on organic

farms.
