Produce your biggest hazelnut yield ever, rain or shine, with precision irrigation

Micro-sprinklers can be excellent precision irrigation emitters in avocado plantations as they create a wetted pattern that is well corelated to the avocado's root zone. Some farmers prefer micro-sprinkler systems because not only can they tolerate poor quality water, but the visual inspection of the system is easier and the water jets can be clearly seen.  Micro-sprinklers are also good fit for rocky soils where water distribution may be disrupted by the inconsistent soil texture.
However, micro-sprinklers require 20-30% more water than drip irrigation, and potential damage, or wear-and-tear, mean higher maintenance costs. Although both methods are recognized, we have seen a global shift towards drip irrigation using two laterals of driplines per line of trees.

Yes. Advanced digital tools allow you to activate and manage your irrigation and nutrition from the palm of your hand, giving you remote access by mobile, tablet or computer - wherever you are.

The hazelnut plant has a relatively shallow and wide root system, reaching a depth of 5-40 cm in aerated soil. That means that nutrients which reach outside that area are essentially wasted. With two driplines for every row of trees, the entire root system is covered, wasting nothing. And with drip, you save 30% on water costs because the water goes straight to the roots.

When used with best management practices, drip irrigation generates commercial yields of 2-5 tons/ha, depending on the variety.

When compared to micro sprinklers, precision irrigation can lead to water savings of up to 30%.

Yes! With drip irrigation, you have the advantage of precise and even distribution of water and nutrients across your orchard. This prevents inconsistent flow rates of water to your trees, promising healthier and more uniform yields regardless of slope.

Micro-sprinklers can be a good choice for precision irrigation emitters in hazelnut orchards because they create a wetted pattern that is well correlated to the hazelnut's root zone.
