THE BEST MAIZE YIELD EVER

When you plant maize, every season is a race to higher yields. 
When you have a more precise way to control water and nutrient delivery, every season is better than the last one.

The Challenge for Maize Farmers

Having dry periods during the growing season can cause yield loss and become the difference between a profitable season or a loss. This calls for the need to apply enough water at the right time. The farmer must explore ways to control the crop’s exposure to both water and nutrients.

While traditional irrigation systems like flood and pivot give you some control, they’re also inefficient and less uniform in the way they apply water. This becomes even more evident across different soil types and these traditional irrigation methods are also not relevant to uneven topography or odd shaped fields.

How Precision Irrigation Helps

Precision irrigation puts the control in your hands by delivering water and nutrients directly to the root-zone of each plant, in tailormade combinations, according to the plants’ developmental stages. It fits onto any plot, and can be applied to all topographies, field sizes and soil types. You can maintain optimal soil moisture and nutrient levels in all conditions.

If you add digital solutions to your system, you’ll be able to monitor and optimise irrigation and Nutrigation™ in real-time throughout the growing season. Gaindata about every aspect of the field and local climate. Wherever you are, whatever the circumstances are, you can ensure consistently high yield and quality every season -and even bigger profits.

Precision Irrigation for Field Crops

Precision Irrigation for Field Crops

The challenge of field crop production is trying to keep the delicate balance between smart risk management and optimal crop growth.

You need a solution that makes optimal use of your land, time and resources, while guaranteeing consistent results in the field. A solution that’s right for your crop, soil, climate, topography, crop cycles and business model.

The solution is precision irrigation.

Precision Nutrigation™

Precision Nutrigation™

Plant nutrition isn’t a matter of quantity – it’s a matter of efficiency.

Precision Nutrigation™ delivers nutrients straight to the root zone of each plant, in tailormade combinations, with perfect timing. This allows you to use fertiliser more efficiently and get the best return on investment. Even in cases where soil moisture is balanced and there is no need for additional irrigation, applying nutrients through your irrigation system allows you to give crops what it needs, when it needs it, to produce higher yields.
