Less Water, Better Crops
Our almond irrigation products are designed to deliver water directly to the root system of each tree, thereby significantly decreasing water consumption and evaporation, and eliminating overspray entirely. Traditional sprinklers are known for their excessive use of water which, in many farming communities across the globe, doesn't equate to a sustainable practice. In areas where water scarcity creates harsh growing conditions, precision irrigation can reduce the overall amount of water used and deliver it to the areas of the roots that need it most.
First, the almond trees are able to be irrigated precisely, preventing overwatering or water wastage. The second benefit is that, because the irrigation system is subterranean, water is unlikely to pool on surface helping to prevent pests from gathering near the trees and can help avoid fungal growth.
Our focus on developing solutions for almond trees is a perfect example of Netafim innovating to meeting grower’s needs.
