The Micro-Tal system was developed by Ein-Tal Micro Drip Irrigation Ltd. in Israel. It is a gravity system that is adapted to take advantage of the benefits of the drip irrigation method without requiring an expensive water pressure system. The main feature of the Micro-Tal drip system is the low flow rates of 0.1–0.5 l/ h per emitter under low gravity pressure controlled by water heads up to 1 m. The very low flow rate (one-tenth of that of the ordinary drip) means that it takes 6–10 hours to supply the daily amount of irrigation water to a plant through the drip emitter. Another major difference with systems discussed earlier is the drip line, which is assembled by connecting in-line emitters with segments of 4-mm tubing. The gravity filter used in this system is also unique to the Micro-Tal.
