This system exploits the night-time hours or the earliest hours of the day when evaporation is at a minimum and therefore less water will be needed if it is distributed at night. By exploiting the hours of lower radiation, the ground has time to absorb the water without a non-negligible amount being lost due to intense radiation and the higher temperatures during summer days, especially in the case of over-tree irrigation. Problems relating to burnt leaves caused by drops of water on the epigeal apparatus can be therefore reduced, as they act as radiation converging lenses. This opportunity is interesting for viticulture if adopted with drip systems.
