Drip Irrigation Technology
Delivers water directly to the plant roots via emitters, reducing evaporation and ensuring deeper water percolation.
Smart Irrigation Controllers
These devices use Wi-Fi and data analytics to optimize irrigation schedules, reduce waste, and can be managed remotely.
Subsurface Textile Irrigation
A method that uses a textile-based delivery system placed below the soil surface, providing uniform irrigation and reducing evaporation.
Surface Irrigation
Utilizes gravity to distribute water over the land through furrows or ditches, simple to use with less technology involved.
Soil Moisture Sensors
These sensors detect the moisture level in the soil, triggering irrigation when necessary to optimize water usage and preserve resources.
Fertigation and chemigation
System delivers fertilizers and chemicals through the irrigation system, allowing for precise application and reduced labor.
Hydrozones
Creating zones based on plant type and water needs, allows for customized irrigation, leading to precise water usage and healthier plants.
Weather-based Irrigation Controllers
Controllers adjust irrigation schedules based on weather data, preventing water waste during rain and adjusting for evapotranspiration.
Center Pivot Irrigation
A method of crop irrigation in which equipment rotates around a pivot and crops are watered with sprinklers for uniform irrigation.
Automatic Irrigation systems
Automates water delivery to plants by using timers, sensors, and controllers, leading to efficient water usage and reducing labor.
