Abstract
A method and apparatus for distributing irrigation water and the like around agricultural plants. The apparatus includes a semi-permanent, semi-looped elastic distributing conduit having a closed end and an open end, with a plurality of spray nozzles in the upper surface of the conduit for distributing liquid outward from the plant in fan-like overlapping patterns. The apparatus becomes a semi-permanent installation, and the method includes the placing of such a semi-looped distributor close in about a plant and arranging the spray patterns to have a substantially fan-like configuration extending outward from the plant and overlapping.
