Agrodrip, an irrigation system installer, and Halpern, a leading irrigation systems provider in Argentina, have partnered with AZUD to develop a large-scale project in the region of Córdoba, Argentina.
Halpern, as a key importer of AZUD technology in the country, has made it possible to bring advanced drip irrigation solutions to producers such as Ascanelli SA, a major player in agricultural production in corn, soybeans, and wheat. Ascanelli SA also has a distinguished track record in the manufacture of agricultural machinery, with more than 60 years in the market.
This irrigation project marks their first foray into agriculture using modern irrigation systems.
Province: Córdoba
Country: Argentina
The region of Córdoba It receives annual rainfall ranging from 900 to 1,000 mm, with most of it falling between October and April.
However, the winter is dry, with only 10% of the annual rainfall, making it impossible to sustain productive crops during this season.
In addition, the region has been affected by a severe drought for several years, which has led to a water deficit important.
Ascanelli SA, like many producers in the region, faces the challenge of supplementing natural rainfall to ensure two summer crops and one winter crop, thereby stabilizing its production system.
The implementation of the Sub-surface Drip Irrigation (SDI) It has proven to be the ideal solution for addressing the water shortage and ensuring higher production in the region.
The system AZUD GENIUN PC ASP, installed at a depth of 30 to 40 cm and spaced 1.1 meters apart on either side, has enabled precise and uniform irrigation.
In addition, the project includes an advanced filtration system, AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC 4DCL, which ensures maximum use of water.
In this project, another key solution implemented was the multi-channel Fertigation equipment AZUD QGROW V, which allows for the simultaneous and precise metering of various fertilizers through Venturi injectors. This system, which also monitors parameters such as temperature, pH, and conductivity, ensures efficient application without incompatibilities among fertilizers of different types.
