Practical Tips for Efficient Irrigation
DeepDrop® System
Optimization of irrigation with DeepDrop®.
With DeepDrop® we can now irrigate for a short period of time, as the water reaches the roots directly. Based on this premise, we recommend reducing the amount of irrigation to 50% of the usual amount, thus reducing watering times.
Irrigation must be adapted to the type of crop, soil type and climate.
Our irrigation recommendations are based on “normal” weather conditions for each season. Weather changes must always be taken into account in order to adapt irrigation.
