Water-Delivery Tubular Mulch

Irrigation, rethought.

A two-layer nonwoven roll that carries furrow water to the base of every tree and covers the soil at the same time.

Yazdlaie water-delivery tubular mulch: black top layer, white bottom layer

Water in an open furrow

A thin trickle of water in a cracked earthen furrow beside a pistachio tree

doesn’t always reachthe tree

In an earthen furrow, some of the water soaks into the ground along the way, some evaporates, and weeds sprout along the banks.

Part of the wateris lost along the way

before itreaches the roots

Water-delivery tubular mulch with its white opening

What changes in an orchard when no water is lost on the way?

We found a better way

Yazdlaie tubular mulch carries water from the main channel along the row by gravity and releases it slowly into the soil through its bottom layer.

How it works

Two layers, two jobs

The black top layer keeps light off the soil. The white bottom layer passes water into the soil through the natural pores of the fabric.

Built for gravity irrigation

The same main channel and the same water-share schedule. In orchards with enough level difference, no pump is needed.

No drippers

Water leaves through the fabric surface, not through emitters, so the small fittings and filtration of a drip system are no longer needed.

Meet thetubular mulch

Water enters from the main channel

A short piece of PVC pipe keeps the opening open, and water from the main channel flows into the space between the two layers on its usual schedule.

It reaches the soil through the white layer

Water travels along the row and seeps slowly and directly into the soil at the base of each tree through the natural pores of the bottom layer.

The whole row, moist and covered

The end of the row is sealed so water has time to seep out along its full length, while the black layer keeps the soil covered.

Two nonwoven layers: a black top layer and a porous white bottom layer with water between them

Made by Yazdlaie,for row orchards

  • 2 layersNonwoven fabric joined lengthwise; black on top, white below
  • 120 cmFlat roll width of the introduced sample
  • 60 to 70 gApproximate weight of each layer per square meter in the initial design*
  • 0 drippersWater reaches the soil through the pores of the white layer

* The final fabric weight will be set after durability and seepage testing.

Pistachio orchard rows with tubular mulch connected to the main channel

Instead of paying separately for irrigation and weeding,one roll in the furrow.

Moisture stays under cover

Covering the soil blocks part of the direct evaporation, so the ground underneath stays moist.

Same water-share method

Water is delivered from the main channel as always, with no change to the irrigation schedule.

More water where it’s needed

At trees that need more water, gentle pressure opens the pores of the white layer locally.

Minimal tools to install

The mulch itself, a short pipe at the opening, a little soil and a few stones.

Start with one row,then the whole orchard

Install one row as a trial and check the water output at its start, middle and end. So our sales specialists can recommend the right width, length and installation method, have this information ready:

  • Length of each row
  • Width and depth of the side furrow
  • Level difference between the main and side channels
  • Approximate water flow rate
  • Water quality and sediment level
  • Soil type and slope

Trial installation
with Yazdlaie’s guidance

See the difference for yourself

Turn on the water and watch the flat mulch fill along the row while water seeps into the soil beneath it.

Sizes and ordering

For growers, input suppliers and irrigation contractors. The right size for each orchard is recommended based on its furrows and row length.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as drip irrigation?

No. Water leaves through the pores of the bottom fabric layer, not through emitters. It is seepage irrigation fed by gravity.

Does it need a pump?

In orchards with enough elevation difference and head, the mulch is designed to work by gravity. The hydraulic conditions of each orchard are reviewed before purchase.

Does it eliminate weeds completely?

The aim is to limit weed growth in the covered area. Results depend on full surface coverage, product durability, weed type and installation method.

How efficient is it, and how much water does it save?

No validated measurements have been published for this product yet, so we will not state a fixed percentage until field testing is complete. Savings depend on soil type, slope, air temperature, fabric weight and irrigation timing.

Does it work with sediment-heavy water?

With sediment-laden water or water with scale-forming salts, any seepage system needs to be monitored for clogging. In these conditions, we recommend starting with a one-row trial.
