Micro jets apply water at higher rates than drippers along a band of soil along the row, have no moving parts and there is a limit to their distance of throw (see pictures).

They are small, non-rotating sprinklers with nozzle diameters between 1.0-5.0 mm, with flow rates ranging from 19-220 L/hr at operating pressures of 1.0-3.5 bar with a wetted diameters of 1.4-9.5 m (see pictures). These units are relatively vulnerable to clogging and require fine filtration from 120-150 microns and are mostly used in tree crops.

They are fixed to small plastic wedges 20-30 cm above ground and they are connected to the PE laterals with 7-9 mm flexible plastic tubes 60-120 cm long, usually placed one per tree 30-50 cm apart.
