Polyethylene (PP) for microirrigation in agricultural irrigation systems is presented as an outstanding choice, promoting efficiency and sustainability in water management in modern agriculture. This material, manufactured through an ethylene polymerization process, stands out for its versatility and durability, making it an ideal option for specific applications such as microirrigation.

The manufacture of polyethylene involves the polymerization of ethylene, a gaseous hydrocarbon, through processes that can vary, such as high-pressure polymerization or low-pressure polymerization. These methods generate polymer chains that interlock, creating a molecular structure that gives polyethylene its unique properties, including its corrosion resistance and flexibility.

Microirrigation, on the other hand, is an advanced irrigation technique that is characterized by delivering water directly to the root zone of plants. This method includes precision drip or sprinkler systems, where small amounts of water are applied in a controlled manner. Microirrigation optimizes water use by reducing losses due to evaporation and runoff, contributing to sustainability and efficiency in agriculture.
