HI Terry, thanks for the question.
Resolving the problem can be rather complex. Basically, what you have is similar to a drip system. Length of run(s), flow rate, pressure, pressure fluctuation, filtering, elevation variations, size of pipes, number/type of fittings, size of holes, spacing of holes et al can all play a part in how much water gets to a certain area. Be aware that different crops can also use water at a different rate. A sketch or picture(s) would help to determine what is going on. It would also be helpful to have some detail on the system components.
I look forward to your response.
