Improving Life using Effective Microorganisms®
Ag1000® is a chemical-free and all-natural solution to clogged lines and plugged emitters. By using beneficial microorganisms to break down and decompose built up organic matter you benefit your farm by reducing chemical use and provide the soil with microbes when cleaning.
Irrigation lines tend to get plugged with calcium carbonate, salts, biofilm, and roots. The most common program for cleaning lines is to run sulfuric acid and chlorine, flushing the lines between each application. This approach is costly, dangerous to the environment as well as human health, corrodes equipment, and the chlorine results in poor soil and plant health.
Growers over the years have reported that Ag1000® can be used to clean their lines. By using it through the irrigation to foliar feed crops, it keeps them clean. One such farm reduced their line pressure from 24 psi to 9 psi.
LINE CLEANING
Run Ag1000® through the irrigation lines and let it sit for 4 to 5 days at minimum (longer if possible). If using fine emitters, remove them prior to flushing or use a large flush valve.
5 gallons per acre, 2 to 4 times per year or as needed
