Irrigation roll or watering pipe is a multilayer seamless PE film that is produced of LDPE, HDPE, UV-Stabilizer, etc. and is simply placed on the ground and connected to any water source including, pond, wellhead, or water canals and requires low water pressure.
This is one of the fastest, easiest and most cost-effective irrigation methods.

Using irrigation rolls in row crops has several advantages:
- It saves water consumption by reducing bottom penetration and surface water evaporation. In this way, the row irrigation efficiency is improved and by removing the ground canals used in traditional irrigation, the area under cultivation is increased.
- They are very light, compact and easily portable.
- Installing and using this system is very simple. Also, the cost of maintenance is insignificant.
- It prevents the transfer of seeds and weeds through water flow to the farm, hence, reducing the cost of herbicides, spraying and mechanical removal of weeds in the field.
- Irrigation rolls prevent soil erosion.
- Irrigation rolls are able to handle the distribution and transfer of chemical fertilizers through the flow of water, which increases the efficiency of fertilizer usage.
They can be produced without installation of the outlets (along the roll) and be used for water transfer in the factories, livestock farms and greenhouses. Pipes with outlets (along the roll) are very cheap compared to other modern irrigation systems, and their implementation is cost-effective for cultivation of most crops and even small farms.
