This is an irrigation method, and partially differs from the drip method since even though there is a distribution line along each row, it exploits micro or mini-sprinklers that irrigate strips of 1.5-2.5 m in width instead of the point distribution method used in the drip system. However, methods of use and interventions have to be stream-lined to the maximum extent, like drip irrigation, in order to avoid excessive distribution of water compared to what the plant actually needs. These systems are suitable for crops on excessively sandy or loamy soils.
