Drip irrigation delivers water and nutrients directly to your vines’ root zone providing optimal, uniform soil moisture and outstanding aeration. As no water is wasted in run-off or evaporation, drip irrigation uses up to 20% less water and energy than sprinkler irrigation. Focusing on the roots means that there is no unwanted weed growth between crop rows, and moisture levels within the canopy remain low, reducing the risk of foliar diseases. 

Regulated Deficit Irrigation is a practice that purposely stresses the vines at specific developmental stages so that there is little, if any, negative impact on the yield.

Controlling water deficit fosters induced stress at ideal growth stages to achieve better quality fruit rather than extensive vegetative growth.

Yes. Advanced digital tools allow you to activate and manage both irrigation and fertigation from the palm of your hand, wherever you are. You can also utilize additional digital tools like soil moisture and plant sensors to optimize your yields and resources.

Driplines for wine grapes can either remain above ground or be installed subsurface, depending on your requirements. Subsurface drip irrigation guarantees that the driplines are protected from cultivation and harvesting machinery or animal-related damage, which is a significant agro-mechanical advantage. Above-ground driplines, however, favor easy inspection and cost less to install. Either way, irrigation performance is equivalent between the two options.
