However, there are other practices, which may
involve use of other dripper locations. The optimal root-zone spatial
distribution and the optimal placing of the drippers to promote
late growth and yield may differ during different periods: Shani
(1991), for example, showed that the optimal distance between
the drippers and the stems of cotton, melon and pepper plants
in a medium-textured Yotveta soil was about 40 cm.
