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.
