FARM CONNECT
SURFACE IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
HIGH-PERFORMANCE SURFACE IRRIGATION
FarmConnect enables growers to automate
surface irrigation to:
​
• reduce labor
• save water
• increase yields
• reduce energy costs
• improve profitability
All within a single, integration management platform.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE SURFACE IRRIGATION
Automate your surface irrigation High-flow surface irrigation together with automation and accurate and precise timing combine to form what can be termed High- Performance Surface Irrigation. In evaluation studies conducted by leading irrigation researchers, higher irrigation flows have been shown to offer improved application efficiencies in excess of 85% and reaching as high as 95% on some soils. Automation of surface irrigation, using Rubicon’s FarmConnect solution provides the needed certainty in managing irrigation durations (along with very substantial labor efficiencies), measurement of flow rate (Smart Meter) onto the bays and the determining the irrigation advance rate (SmartFront™ sensor) early in each irrigation to provide the data needed to calculate the precise time to cut-off required for that irrigation.
