Upright micro-sprinkler
Senninger Irrigation has released the Upright Micro-Sprinkler, designed specifically for irrigation in nurseries, greenhouses, orchards, vegetables and citrus. The Upright Micro-Sprinkler distributes water over a large diameter and in a consistent uniform pattern, even in single row installations. However, growers who want to irrigate smaller and younger plants with the Upright Micro-Sprinkler can use a tabbed deflector that reduces the angle and diameter of coverage. This localizes the water application for smaller root zones. These tabs can then be clipped off to let the sprinkler grow along with the plant.
The product’s design allows for easy assembly and disassembly during field maintenance. There are few steps involved in installation, which makes cleaning faster. The sprinkler’s deflector snaps into its retainer, which attaches to the nozzle base with a twist. Multiple connection options make it easy to retrofit existing systems.

Powered spray system
The Green Gorilla powered spray system allows growers to focus on spraying. A power pack connects easily to a premium spray tank, and eliminates manual pumping by pressurizing the air within the system. The Green Gorilla also maximizes the use of chemicals by delivering a steady stream with constant even pressure. The power pack’s rechargeable lithium ion power lasts for hours, and attaches with an easy-twist, quick-connect system. The system also serves as an automatic pressure relief for added safety. Power packs can be snapped quickly between tanks with no cross-contamination. The Green Gorilla Professional Spray System has been designed with the professional and serious hobbyist in mind. With FKM seals and rugged construction, it’s designed to tackle the big projects and harsher chemicals. It is available in 1.5 gallon and 2.5 gallon tanks. All of the tanks and power packs are designed for rugged wear, assembled in the U.S., and hand-tested with a one year limited warranty. Accessories include a 20 foot extended hose, a 3 foot extended wand, a shoulder strap and a car charger.
