It is a common misconception that drip irrigation was invented in Israel. There is no question that much of the product innovation in this field occurred in Israel and that Israel companies have contributed significantly to the industry, but they can't take all the credit for its development.

No credit is taken. The facts are that drip irrigation system, with plastic pipes and the new plasic drippers, was invented and first used and developed in Israel by Blass. It does not change the contributions made earlier and later.--Ybact 13:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
