They undertook an innovative project with the largest organic/ecological apple farm in Europe.
Being organic implies a change in crop management. It is a very high density frame, where herbicides cannot be used and the pipes are above ground, making this very difficult.
Additionally, the use of organic nutrition is much more complex to work with. They also aimed to have a low water footprint in apple production. The farm had some was uneven in some places and the project itself represented a large investment, which would require a guarantee.
Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) provided us with an answer and a solution to all the problems and challenges of the project. We managed to lower the water footprint and remove the pipe from the surface, managing the plantation unhindered and without stepping on the pipe.
In addition, we can be sure that the installation and design with AZUD PREMIER with its large labyrinth passages, although it has a flow rate of 0.9 l/h, works with total guarantee against obstructions and organic nutrition.
On the other hand, an AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC 4DCL DLP disc filtration system is used, which filters both the irrigation water and the nutrition to achieve a more homogeneous quality mixture suitable for working with total guarantees in the irrigation system.
We provide a service focused on the solution and requirements of this type of organic farming. At AZUD we design custom projects and provide an advisory service on operation and maintenance. A specific tool has been designed to implement the SDI. AZUD PREMIER + AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC 4DCL DLP.
