Drip and micro solutions

Drip and micro irrigation systems are key to any efficient horticulture or viticulture operation. Delivering precise amounts of water directly to the plant roots, these systems reduce water waste and optimise irrigation.

Our drip and micro solutions are designed to accommodate various plant types and soil conditions, providing consistent and reliable water delivery. Ideal for both small-scale gardens and large commercial operations, these solutions support healthy plant growth and maximum yields.

Fertigation and control

Combining fertilisation with irrigation, fertigation delivers both nutrients and water directly to the roots of your plants. This method improves the nutrient uptake of your crop and minimises wastage, promoting consistent plant growth.

Our fertigation systems are designed to integrate with your existing irrigation setup, offering precise control over nutrient application. We also provide advanced control solutions to manage irrigation schedules, monitor system performance, and adjust parameters as needed for your horticultural and viticultural projects.
