Subarea specific irrigation system for pivot- and linear fertigation techniques (SMART Fertigation) (SMART Fertigation)
Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2016,
...essing the aforementioned societal challenges. Fertigation, a novel concept merging irrigation and fertilization to one process, poses an innovative alternative to conventional cultivation practices. Hydro-Air, as SME in irrigation technology development and provision, developed and integrated the concept of fertigation with pivot- and linear irrigation systems. Using GPS & GIS data in conjunction ...

Sustainable Water treatment and Nutrient reuse options (SUWANU)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Agricultural practices put the biggest pressure on fresh water resources for irrigation (55% of the water use in Europe) and on fertilizer usage. The European farmers face serious problems such as freshwater scarcity and nutrient availability, extreme climate conditions and the growing demand of the increasing population. This results in rising prices for mineral fertilizers and food, risky measur ...

Development of an automatic irrigation and fertilization system (OPTIFERT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
"Due to climate related changes, longer dry periods for European farmers and without irrigation the risk of a volatile harvests will rise, that is the reason for a tendency acrossEurope to irrigate fields. The need for innovative irrigated systems is to minimize water consumption and costs. Also in times of limited water the project will be lucrative.There are more and more increasing cost pressur ...
