Inovativní systém závlahy a hnojení jahod

Spanělaská asociace pěstitelů jahod hledá efektivnější způsob zavlažování a vyživování jahod a bobulovytých rostlin. Účelem je maximálně optimalizovat závlahový systém a rozložit optimálně množství hnojiva, tak abychom zvýšili kvalitu ovoce či docílili vyšších výnosů.Sdružení hledá technickou a obchodní spolupráci.

Description:

Main challenges in modern agriculture focuses on the growing demand for safer, healthier, higher quality food and for sustainable primary production, in terms of lowering environmental impact and managing natural resources, specially water.
Last innovations in modern agriculture address the implementation of irrigation monitoring systems which permit a more accurate control of water needs and a precision irrigation schedule. Furthermore, through ICT control tools, very locally and uniformly water releases to the plant are allowed as well as real time soil-water availability and monitoring of nutrients available for the plant.
Fertirrigation consist on releasing water and essential nutrients simultaneously to the plant through the irrigation system installed within the soil, which acts as a vehicle to conduct the nutritional solution to the roots. Fertirrigation is demonstrated to highly contribute to a more sustainable use of water and fertilizers in agriculture, compared to obsolete practices consisting on more surface management of inputs to the plant.
Despite of the evolution of substantial ITC solutions, growers still address their practices to increasing the production ratios per plant, minimizing costs at the same time. Now, quality in terms of fruit quality and nutritional content may be taken into account when managing irrigation. Hidric stress due to an excess or defect of water and nutrients has to be avoided in order to minimize the energy effort of the plant during the absorption process. A more accurate irrigation system should be based on the nutritional needs of the plant in its different physiological status.
