It is increasingly important to have comprehensive and accurate knowledge of agronomic data for a crop to determine the appropriate amount of irrigation at each stage and the optimal timing for soil fertilization. Tools like ITC’s Dostec AC fertilizer dosing pump facilitate fertigation, assisting farmers and irrigation schedulers in maximizing yields and achieving better results in our crops more sustainably
Smart Pumps for Sustainable Farming
Background
ITC Solution
Agrosolmen, a client of ITC, and in a clear commitment to sustainability, is integrating this type of technology along with other equipment and solutions available in the market into its irrigation facilities to facilitate precise fertigation.
On this occasion, they chose a smart fertigation pump, the Dostec AC, which, thanks to the data provided by the Genhidro platform, takes into account information such as weather forecasts, crop water status, irrigation scheduling, or nutrient consumption estimation, among other relevant data for agricultural production. In this way, the precise amount of nutrients required by the crop is dosed, minimizing fertilizer waste and consequent contamination from leaching.
Conclusions
ITC’s smart pumps, such as the Dostec AC, facilitate precise fertigation for sustainable crops by optimizing the use of water and fertilizers, maximizing agricultural yields. The integration of this technology into irrigation systems, as in the case of Agrosolmen, allows for data-driven decisions based on agronomic and meteorological data, contributing to more efficient and environmentally friendly production.
Equipment like the Dostec AC emerges as an indispensable tool in fertigation, optimizing resource use and maximizing agricultural efficiency to promote sustainable practices in cultivation.
