Client: Marc Garner, Farmer, American Fork, Utah, USA Project
Parameters
Area: 3 hectares
Crop: Passion fruit
Plant spacing: 2 ft
80 plants per row, row spacing: 15 ft
Terrain: Flat land
Water source: Irrigation canal
Challenges: The farm has high temperature and strong UV radiation. Ordinary drip tape has short service life and is easy to break. The client required tight lead time and an automated irrigation solution.
Solution: We recommended perforated PE pipe fitted with 4L & 8L pressure-compensating emitters. HYRT series valves were adopted, together with a proportional fertilizer injector and solenoid valves.
Client comment: I do have a filtration system that is good for now. But if I expand later I’ll want to automate.
Quantifiable Results: The client is highly satisfied with the performance. He plans to purchase our irrigation equipment for his other farms, including LORA solenoid valve system and automatic backwash filter.
