Rain Bird XFS subsurface dripline Rain Bird’s XFS subsurface dripline with Copper Shield technol- ogy offers a Trifluralin-free alternative to effectively protect the emitter from root intrusion. The Copper Shield technology is an environmentally responsible alternative to the use of the chemi- cal inhibitors, meaning that XFS can also be used for certified organic growing. Rain Bird’s commitment to the Intelligent Use of Water is also demonstrated through the XFS subsurface dripline, which can use 30 to 70 percent less water than traditional overhead spray irrigation. Rain Bird’s XFS subsurface dripline with Copper Shield technology was named the Irrigation Association’s 2010 Best New Product of the Year. For more information, visit www.rainbird.com/drip.
