Irrigate strawberries on the open ground with precision
The strawberry plant on the open ground is perennial crop. Growers are therefore looking for a high yield for all the years. At the same time, they want to waste as little water as possible to meet the requirements of the government and to qualify for subsidies. But strawberries require a lot of moisture.
With precision irrigation you can meet both needs. Utilise the advantages right away.

Drip irrigation against night frost
Underground piping keeps the soil moist and therefore at the same temperature. The best weapon against night frost. You can also administer a perfect combination of fertiliser and water with drip irrigation. The water is administered directly into the seed drop by drop. The result is well developed and beautiful. Exactly what the grower wants.
Watering the drops
For the ridge cultivation of strawberries drip irrigation is the perfect irrigation system. This way the provision of water happens evenly. Choose for drip tape that is easy to install. Or choose for underground inline drip hoses that reach all roots with their irrigation. Set the timer and the frequency for the irrigation as you desire. The irrigation system does the rest.
Self-locking hose
Suppose a grower waters his strawberry plants for five minutes, six times per day. If he has an irrigation system with regular hoses, then the last plants do not get water until a few minutes later. This means that every day they only get half of the water. A self-locking hose prevents this. It remains full of water after the pump is turned off. At the set time, the entire plot is dripped at the same time. This way all plants receive the same amount of water at the same time.
