Gary Hinegardner Area Agronomy Specialist describes trickle irrigation as a newer method in Missouri for grapes and other crops. It delivers 0.5 to 2 gallons per hour directly to the root zone, reducing irrigation needs up to 50 percent. For grapes, about two gallons per plant per day. mature fruit trees may require 40 to 50 gallons daily.

Microtube emitters are popular for cost and ease.
