Button drippers irrigation in Kenya is for orchards, biennials, perennials, hedge, and forest trees. Our on-line button drippers irrigate each tree according to its water requirement.
These drippers will be on the HDPE pipe at the base of the tree or other crops by making a perforation on the 16mm HDPE pipe. We supply both adjustable button drippers and non-adjustable button drippers in Kenya
Button drippers for sale in Kenya by Grekkon Limited have anti-UV treatment. This prevents fast solar degradation through high intense UV radiation. It is an important factor for a grower to consider when procuring button drippers, and irrigation pipes. Non-UV treated irrigation accessories will be replaced after a few months of solar exposure. This is an expensive undertaking for a grower
