__NOTOC__
The Plastro system was developed in Israel as a low-pressure drip irrigation system with high water efficiency, clogging resistance and durability. For further information contact [http://www.efronim.org.il/db/showcomp.pl?comp=Plastro+Gvat Plastro GVAT] in Israel, or ATIF (K) Limited.
 
'''Uses of a drum system'''<br>
 
A drum system covering 5 beds each 1 m wide and 15 m long can be used to grow 250 plants (tomato, egg plant and similar plants requiring a spacing of 60 cm along the plant rows); 500 plants (spinach, cabbage, kale, pepper and similar plants requiring a spacing of 30 cm along the plant rows); or 1,500 plants (onion, carrot and similar plants requiring a spacing of 10 cm). The drum system also offers water storage and control through a control valve, making it possible to fill the drum for irrigating at another time.
 
Six examples are presented: the KARI drum system from Kenya, the Waggon Wheel system from South Africa, the Family, Plastro and Micro-Tal systems from Israel, and the IDE drum used in India.
