Responsive Drip Irrigation (RDI) is proud to present GrowStream™, the world's first and only plant-responsive water and nutrient delivery system.
. GrowStream™ is a microporous tube that uses revolutionary organic chemistry to interact with plant root signals - delivering water on demand, minute-by-minute, plant-by-plant. Unlike all other forms of irrigation, GrowStream™ begins a new generation for irrigation that allows each plant to self-regulate the amounts of water and nutrients it receives. RDI's audacious mission: using plant-responsive technology to conserve water, eliminate world hunger and create a sustainable future for all. After more than a decade of development, RDI launched its product in the US in 2019 to address some of the world's most pressing issues. Projects quickly began globally - and in 2020, RDI opened a new hub of operations in Abu Dhabi, UAE, with the support of the Abu Dhabi Investment Office. RDI's completely new method of irrigation has produced incredible savings on water, typically 30-50% vis-à-vis conventional drip systems. By only releasing the amount actually required by each plant, GrowStream™ virtually eliminates water losses caused by evaporation and percolation. Crop yield and plant health naturally and significantly improve with plant-responsive irrigation. Plants are subjected to a constantly-changing environment - with RDI, they can now dynamically respond, grow, and produce to their full potential. No electronics or sensors are required - GrowStream™ only needs ultra-low pressure. RDI's energy conservation will have far-reaching impacts, dramatically lowering the carbon footprint of food production around the world. The simplicity of GrowStream™ also encourages crop diversity by allowing plants with different water requirements to be grown together. This diversity makes the smallholders more resilient and improves food security world-wide. RDI's plant-responsive technology will completely transform every aspect of plant production: commercial farms and greenhouses, lawns and landscapes and smallholder farmers throughout the world. RDI
