Irrigation systems Agriculture

Whether fruit growing or viticulture: it all depends on the right irrigation.

In order to irrigate your farm correctly and efficiently, we first need to differentiate between fruit, vegetable and wine growing. Find out everything you need to know about correct irrigation in agriculture here.

Irrigation and fertilization for agriculture: Yield security and plant health

Irrigation and fertilization play a crucial role in modern agriculture. Through the targeted use of water and nutrients, you as a farmer can improve the health of your plants and ensure yields even when rainfall fluctuates greatly. This has become increasingly important in recent years in view of the growing challenges posed by climate change and water scarcity. Depending on your cultivation situation, we can work with you to optimize irrigation and fertilization:

Advantages of irrigation and fertilization

  • Increased yield: Plants can grow better and bear more fruit through targeted irrigation and fertilization. An even water supply prevents drought stress and promotes continuous growth.
  • Improving plant health: A sufficient supply of water and nutrients strengthens plants against diseases and pests. Healthy plants have a stronger immune system and are more resistant to external influences.
  • Efficient use of resources: Modern irrigation systems such as drip pipes and micro-sprayers save water and fertilizer, drip irrigation delivers water directly to the roots and minimizes evaporation losses.
  • Adaptation to climate changes: Flexibility in irrigation helps to respond to changing weather conditions and ensure yields even in dry periods. Weather data, soil moisture and your experience - targeted irrigation can ensure the yield of your plants.

Irrigation in viticulture

  • Different water sources: The use of irrigation in viticulture depends above all on the water available. Different water sources require individual solutions for the pump and head station. Whether with low pressure from the tanker, which is 5m higher than the plantation, from the cooperative water supply or by well pump.

  • The best material for long durability: experience from a large number of projects results in the best and most robust solutions. Optimum water distribution, robust connections for the rows that can even withstand a brush cutter.
  • Drip tube on the lowest tensioning wire: A precise method of bringing water directly to the vines. The installation of the drip pipes with pipe holders that serve as a drip point and precisely manufactured drip pipes that also work perfectly on slopes. This allows you to maximize water efficiency in viticulture.

Irrigation for outdoor agriculture & vegetable growing

  • Drip tube & fertigation: Water-saving solutions that enable efficient fertilization. Implement drip tube systems to target both water and fertilizer to your crops.
  • Overhead irrigation with wobblers: An alternative to drip irrigation that also offers high efficiency. If drip pipes are too limiting and overhead irrigation is required, Senninger mini wobblers are ideal for distributing water evenly over larger areas.

Irrigation in protected cultivation & for planting in tunnels

  • Drip tube & fertigation: Ideal for controlled environments such as tunnels and greenhouses. Use drip tubes and fertigation to optimally control the nutrient supply.
  • Micro-sprinklers at the bottom: Keep the substrate moist and improve surface water and nutrient uptake. Install e.g. Netafim VibroNet micro-sprinklers to regulate moisture at ground level.
  • Overhead irrigation: Ensures even moistening of the plants. Use Netafim SpinNet for effective overhead irrigation.

Irrigation in fruit growing

  • Drip pipe in the system: Precise water supply for fruit trees. Install drip irrigation to optimize the water consumption for watering your plantation and increase the yields of your fruit trees.
  • Frost protection with overhead sprinklers: Protects plants from frost damage. Install overhead sprinklers to protect your orchards from frost damage during flowering next spring.

Through the targeted application of these irrigation and fertilization methods, you as a farmer can secure your yields, improve the health of your plants and use water and nutrients efficiently at the same time. Rely on modern technologies to make your farming sustainable and productive for years to come!
