A large-scale trial of Precision Irrigation technology has concluded its first phase in Chile, with profound implications for the sustainable cultivation of avocados in water-stressed regions.
“This is scientific proof of what our customers have observed after having installed an AQUA4D® system, and the knock-on benefits they have seen in their crops.” – Charles-Henri Faure, CTO, AQUA4D
This article originally appeared in FreshFruitPortal in January 2021. Like many places in Peru and Chile, the coastal area of northern Peru suffers from increasing soil salinity. This presents particular difficulties for the cultivation of avocados, an important export
This is an adapted version of an article published in the journal Soil & Tillage Research (2020) With an increase of high-profile projects in various countries, the effects of AQUA4D® technology on irrigation water are being increasingly studied. However,
George Hércules de Melo explores the effects of water-smart technology in challenging irrigation settings.
Brazilian growers are adopting AQUA4D® to optimize irrigation, promote water efficiency, and restore soils. Here are some of the proven benefits.
Like many countries, Morocco is faced with increasing water scarcity and drought. Thankfully, help is at hand thanks to the growth of efficiency-boosting innovations in agtech.
After persistent loss of yield due to nematodes, and a desire to move towards a more sustainable agriculture, these growers in Senegal looked to the Aqua4D system after having seen its successes in other countries.
Biofilm is defined as an “aggregate of bacteria that adheres to a surface”[1]. This so-called “bacterial adhesion”[2] is like a living tissue on the pipe’s surface, and is a paradise for bacteria of all kinds, providing a nutrient-rich environment which facilitates growth.
