HIGHER POTATO YIELDS WITH CONSISTENT SIZE AND SHAPE THROUGH PRECISION IRRIGATION
At a time when cost of farming is going up, there is pressure on potato farmers to both produce more efficiently, and produce higher-quality potatoes. That’s why precision irrigation is such a big help.
WHY CHOOSE PRECISION IRRIGATION
FOR POTATOES?
Satisfy all market segments
Every potato market segment has unique demands.
(1) The fresh segment requires superb appearance, high cooking quality and even shape.
(2) The processed segment insists on low reducing sugar concentrations, uniform tubers, and consistent dry matter.
Whatever your goal, precision irrigation will get you there.
Keep your potatoes healthy
Drip irrigation delivers water precisely to the root-zone of the plant, avoiding leaf moisture and ultimately fostering a dry environment. Less moisture reduces the risk of potato blight and other fungal diseases.
Take control of plant nutrition
Potatoes are heavy feeders. With a shallow and fibrous root system, they only flourish with consistent nutrition. Precision Nutrigation™ brings nutrients directly to the root-zone, on demand.
Optimize resources
Drip irrigation distributes water and nutrients only where the crops grow, avoiding waste between beds. In addition, there is no water loss due to run-off or evaporation.
Foster uniformity
Uniform distribution of water and nutrients creates uniform tubers across the field. Even in the face of strong winds, challenging topography, inconsistent row length or odd field shapes.
