Introduction to farming and its importance
Agriculture is an indispensable part of the German economy and plays a central role in supplying the population with food. It makes a significant contribution to climate protection and supports the preservation of biodiversity.
The German government supports agriculture through various programmes and measures aimed at improving the sustainability and efficiency of agricultural production. This support helps farmers to utilise modern techniques such as drip irrigation in order to save water and protect the environment. This not only secures the supply of high-quality food, but also makes an important contribution to climate protection.

Challenges in soya production
Soya production is an essential part of global agriculture, but faces considerable challenges. The increasing demand for soya as animal feed for livestock is leading to an expansion of the area under cultivation, which in turn causes problems such as soil erosion, water contamination and social conflicts.
These challenges emphasise how important it is to make soya production sustainable and environmentally friendly. By using modern irrigation systems such as drip irrigation, farmers can minimise the negative effects while increasing the efficiency and yields of their production. Sustainable soya production is crucial to protect the environment and minimise social impacts.
Frequently asked questions about drip irrigation of soya in agriculture
Soya is one of the most important plants in agriculture and requires consistent moisture. With a modern drip irrigation system, you can reach the roots directly, avoid evaporation and save water. Reliable production is particularly important during periods of high demand for plant-based products such as soya milk and tofu - and this can be achieved with a sustainable irrigation system. In Germany, many farmers already use this technology because it saves water and keeps yields stable.
The first step is to analyse the soil, climate and water supply. Soya plants grow best in well-drained soil with a stable water supply. The next step is to select drip pipes with the right drip spacing depending on your growing area. This is particularly easy with Plug&Rain® because you get a ready-made irrigation system that is perfectly tailored to the needs of horticulture or agriculture.
Yes, you can also use drip irrigation in the garden. Soya beans benefit from the targeted water and nutrient supply just as much as large fields. In horticulture, it is even easier because the area is smaller and you can get started immediately with a compact irrigation system. This means you can also grow organic soya for your own kitchen and produce healthy food for your family.
Thanks to the targeted water supply, you avoid water loss and save energy when pumping water. In this way, your drip irrigation system makes a contribution to sustainability. Especially in times when climate protection is becoming increasingly important in agriculture, efficient irrigation helps to save water and protect the environment.
With well-planned irrigation, the supply to the plants remains stable - this promotes pod formation and the quality of the soya beans. These are the basis for high-quality products such as soya milk, soya flour or animal feed. A consistent water supply increases the value of your harvest and ensures that your plants stay healthy.
Yes, in Germany there are various programmes from the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Federal Information Centre that promote sustainable irrigation systems. If you invest in a modern drip irrigation system, you can make an additional contribution to sustainability - and benefit from financial advantages.
Absolutely! Modern irrigation systems such as Plug&Rain® can be equipped with smart technology. This allows you to control the irrigation according to weather data, soil moisture or the current state of plant development. In practice, this combination of precise technology and smart control delivers the best yields.
Planning as a success factor
How to choose the perfect irrigation system for your soya plants in agriculture
Whether in the garden or on larger cultivation areas: Planning your drip irrigation is the most important step for successful soya production. Soya places high demands on the water supply, especially in the flowering and pod formation phase. At the same time, sustainable use of water and energy is crucial - not only for the profitability of your farm, but also for climate protection.
The first thing to consider when planning is the location. In Germany, we have different soils and climatic regions that influence water requirements. Despite being densely populated, a significant proportion of the land area, around 50%, is used for agriculture. Light soils require water more frequently, while heavy soils store water for longer. You can compensate for these differences with a flexible irrigation system. The location of your farmland also plays a role: irrigation becomes more important in regions with low rainfall.
Your irrigation system should supply the entire cultivation area evenly without wasting water. Modern drip pipes with integrated drippers deliver the water directly to the soya plants - exactly where it is needed. This saves water and energy and ensures optimum conditions.
Plug&Rain® offers you complete irrigation systems that you can install in just a few steps - ideal for farmers, but also for hobby gardeners in horticulture.
Installation and operation
How drip irrigation for soya works in practice and contributes to climate protection
Installing a drip irrigation system is easy with Plug&Rain®, even if you have no previous experience. The irrigation systems consist of pre-assembled modules that you only need to connect - this saves time and reduces sources of error. From connecting to the water source and filtering to laying the drip pipes on your growing area - every step is clearly described.
Filtration is particularly important. As soya plants are sensitive to clogged drippers, a good filter protects your system from contamination from well water or rainwater. Lay the drip pipes along the soya rows so that each plant is optimally supplied. Make sure that the drippers are positioned exactly at the root - this improves water utilisation and ensures even growth.
You can automate irrigation during operation. With modern control systems, the irrigation adapts to the weather and soil moisture - so your soya plants always get the right amount of water. At the same time, you save time during operation and reduce water consumption. Especially in Germany, where sustainable agriculture is a high priority, drip irrigation makes an important contribution to conserving resources.
With a well-planned and operated drip irrigation system, you not only ensure healthy plants and high yields - you also make your farm fit for the future. Save water, protect the climate, secure yields - with DVS irrigation and Plug&Rain.
Advantages of drip irrigation for the garden and the environment
Drip irrigation is an extremely efficient method of watering plants while reducing water consumption. Compared to traditional irrigation methods, it can reduce water consumption by up to 50%, which not only protects the environment but also promotes plant health and growth.
This method is particularly energy-efficient, as it only delivers the necessary amount of water directly to the roots of the plants. Drip irrigation is ideal for gardens with different plants and soil types and can also be used in agriculture to increase crop yields.
The targeted water supply ensures that the plants are optimally supplied, resulting in healthier and higher-yielding crops.
