Low flow irrigation and a booming citrus industry
We talk about precision citrus irrigation, growth in the South African citrus industry and Centralised Low Flow Drip Fertigation.
Focus points for drip on citrus
The concept of open hydroponics has been a major driver of the adoption of drip irrigation in citrus production. Open hydroponics in the context of tree crops was first introduced by Professor Rafael Martinez Valero of Spain in the 1990’s. His work and related research carried out in South Africa has greatly changed thinking in citrus irrigation and nutrition.
