THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE FLOW

FlowControl
™
Toro FlowControl puts you in control of watering
decisions. You control how much water your plants
receive by increasing or decreasing the operating pressure
— without sacrificing uniformity.
RESULT: More uniform delivery of water and fertilizer
to the roots of your plants with the flexibility to control
application rates.
CONQUER CHALLENGING TERRAIN
“We’ve seen rsthand how FlowControl helps increase yield and quality.
Over the past two years, we have tested it and seen it signicantly improve
our crops’ health, especially in challenging terrain. FlowControl delivers a
more uniform crop and higher yields in areas that were once impractical
to farm. We’ve even reduced our pre-plant fertilizer costs, thanks to the
improved uniform distribution it oers with fertigation. FlowControl’s
benets became especially apparent to us this year – during a major
drought we were consistently able to achieve uniformity on long irrigated
plasticulture rows.”

For years, growers have trusted Aqua-Traxx®, Toro’s original
drip tape, for unmatched clog resistance, durability, and precision
placement of valuable water and fertilizer. Standard drip
tapes like Aqua-Traxx, give growers the flexibility to increase
or decrease water flow rates, but provide moderate irrigation
uniformity. The best applications for standard drip tapes are
flat terrain or medium-length runs.
For growers with challenging terrain, pressure-compensating
driplines made it possible to increase uniformity, quality, and
yield on changing elevations. However, pressure-compensating
driplines are only available in expensive, heavier wall thicknesses,
are even more expensive at closer emitter spacings, and sacrifice
growers’ control over their system application rates.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FLOW
“FlowControl is an important new technology to provide a uniform
application of water. e possibility of adjusting the ow with innovative
drip tapes is an important feature that could contribute to increase the
capacity and exibility of micro-irrigation systems.”
