Responsible Agricultural Practices Through Water Management
Smart Sub-Surface Irrigation – Minimum 30% Savings in Irrigation Water
Natural resource management by using reclaimed water through drip irrigation technology on non-arable land.
Sub-Surface Soil Water Irrigation
>
Maintain a dry soil surface
>
- Prevents weed seed germination.
- Low humidity results in less herbicide & fungicide used
- Does not interfere with field operations
- No water lost to evaporation
- Improved yield & quality by precise water consumption by crop

We Lead Sustainability with Smart Irrigation Practices Using Digital Farming
- Fast access to data and the power to operate irrigation in real time – all from the palm of the farmer’s hand.
- Our farmers have the power to manage the irrigation, gather data from sensors and decide on real time actions.
- Grow better yields and save costs by delivering the right amount of nutrients directly to the root of the plant.
