A drip emitter is provided for delivering irrigation water from a supply tube to an emitter outlet at a reduced and relatively constant flow rate. Water enters the emitter through a first inlet and proceeds into a first chamber. When the water pressure is above a predetermined level, a one-directional valve opens to allow fluid flow past the first chamber, through a tortuous path flow channel, and through an emitter outlet. A second inlet is used to compensate for water pressure fluctuations in the supply tube to maintain output flow at a relatively constant rate. Water enters the second inlet and presses a flexible diaphragm toward a water metering surface to provide pressure-dependent control of the output flow. A copper member is mounted to the emitter over the emitter outlet to prevent plant root intrusion into the emitter outlet.

A dual lumen syringe includes a body having a pair of elongate cavities or lumens formed therein. A directional valve is associated with each lumen. The valve is alternated between the first position wherein the lumen is communicably connected to a fluid inlet and a second position wherein the lumen is connected with a fluid outlet.

The valves are switched to a first position wherein the lumens are interconnected with the fluid inlets and the plunger is retracted to aspirate fluids through the respective inlets and into the lumens. The valves are then switched to a second position to communicably interconnect the lumens with the outlets. The plungers are then simultaneously driven inwardly through the respective lumens to drive the fluids simultaneously through the outlets to a dispensing tip permanently connected to the body and in communication with the outlets.
