This farm is located in central Georgia and covers an area of 15 hectares dedicated to strawberry production.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its main objective is to sell strawberries in the local market, taking advantage of the abundant supply of high-quality water from a meltwater river.<\/p>\n

The soil on the property consists of high levels of organic matter<\/strong>, exceeding 5%.<\/p>\n

Strawberry farming has stringent nutritional requirements<\/strong> and is highly sensitive to the salinity of the irrigation water.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it is crucial to monitor and monitor electrical conductivity<\/strong> (EC) of irrigation water after fertilizers have been added and prevent hasty decisions<\/strong> in the irrigation dripline.<\/p>\n","la_solucion_imagen":"https:\/\/azud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Frame-52-2-1.webp","la_solucion_texto":"

To address this challenge, the AZUD QGROW V system<\/strong><\/a>, which has three injection lines, one of which is designed for the application of acids or other products.<\/p>\n

Since the farm has sufficient labor and the cost is negligible, the decision was made to opt for a Manual fertigation equipment<\/strong>. This choice made it easier for the farm's staff to adapt to and operate the system.<\/p>\n

The equipment configuration allowed for a Precise monitoring of soil electrical conductivity (EC) and pH<\/strong> at the exact point where the fertilizers are injected, ensuring an adequate supply of nutrients for the strawberry crop.<\/p>\n","beneficios_imagen":"https:\/\/azud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Frame-53.webp","beneficios_texto":"

Implementation of the solution AZUD QGROW V<\/a><\/strong> It yielded numerous benefits:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Increased performance potential:<\/strong> By optimizing the nutrient supply to achieve an optimal EC value, the crop\u2019s maximum yield potential was realized. This resulted in strawberry production at 100% of capacity, improving the farm\u2019s profitability.<\/li>\n
  2. Salinity Control:<\/strong> Precise monitoring and control of EC helped prevent salinity problems in the strawberry crop. This helped maintain plant health, reduce stress, and improve fruit quality.<\/li>\n
  3. Irrigation Systems Maintenance:<\/strong> The AZUD QGROW V irrigation system was also used to perform maintenance on the irrigation system. This included cleaning and removing any potential blockages in the driplines, ensuring the system\u2019s efficient and long-lasting operation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n"},"tipo-de-industriacultivos":[886],"subsector-casos-de-exito":[952],"lineas-de-actividad-casos":[962,972],"soluciones-casos-de-exito":[1042,1032],"sector-casos-de-exito":[1088],"class_list":["post-17635","caso-de-exito","type-caso-de-exito","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipo-de-industriacultivos-strawberry","subsector-casos-de-exito-berries","lineas-de-actividad-casos-filtration","lineas-de-actividad-casos-plant-nutrition","soluciones-casos-de-exito-fertirrigacion","soluciones-casos-de-exito-filtracion-de-aguas-de-riego","sector-casos-de-exito-agriculture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/caso-de-exito\/17635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/caso-de-exito"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/caso-de-exito"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/caso-de-exito\/17635\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74305,"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/caso-de-exito\/17635\/revisions\/74305"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-de-industriacultivos","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-de-industriacultivos?post=17635"},{"taxonomy":"subsector-casos-de-exito","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subsector-casos-de-exito?post=17635"},{"taxonomy":"lineas-de-actividad-casos","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lineas-de-actividad-casos?post=17635"},{"taxonomy":"soluciones-casos-de-exito","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/soluciones-casos-de-exito?post=17635"},{"taxonomy":"sector-casos-de-exito","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sector-casos-de-exito?post=17635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
