Water is the most valuable element we have on our planet due to its essential for the life and development of humans and the rest of the animals and living beings.
Today, we are facing a big problem, its scarcity. The world is spending more and more water than the earth can offer us. That’s why it is time to be conscious of this and start taking action for its conservation because our present and future will depend on it.
Improving water management, the key to conserving
Currently, growers are confronted with major challenges such as climate changes, scarcity of arable land as well as water.
Because of this, modern agriculture has introduced new tools, products, and techniques to help growers, having as excellent examples the technification of irrigation and hydroponic systems.
Techniques for water management in agriculture
The technification of irrigation refers to the efficient use of water, based on the correct use of technology. It is designed to know when, how much and how to irrigate, allowing the application of water in the crops appropriately.
This technique seeks to reduce the amount of water used and is the solution to the problems caused by the lack of this element. Through the modernization and technification of agriculture with irrigation, water conservation is increased, allowing to improve agricultural yield per unit of water consumed.
On the other hand, hydroponics or soilless agriculture is a method that allows growing plants using mineral solutions where the roots receive a balanced nutritive solution dissolved in water with all the chemical elements essential for the development of the plants.
But in this context of water scarcity, especially in arid regions, the use of hydroponics stands out as a mitigation measure for this problem. This technique becomes even more relevant for the production of vegetables.
Committed to protecting the environment
Plantlogic has developed products that reduce the negative impact on the environment and allows growers to have healthy and strong crops while using water properly.
Its wide variety of drainage collection pots facilitates water recirculation and eliminates the residuals, which come to remain in the field. This works through the holes in the pots at the bottom, where the water drains and collects in the gutter.
The Plantlogic pots have high legs from the ground which keep the roots isolated to avoid contact with pathogenic organisms that can cause disease. Its pyramid base and drainage holes are designed to force the drainage to the sides; its pyramidal base and drainage holes are designed to force the drainage to the sides, having in this way an adequate access of oxygen from the bottom which allows the self-pruning of the root.
Another excellent example is the 30L round pot with U-Groove which has u grooves in three different sizes (12 cm, 16 cm, and 26.2 cm) in order to facilitate the placement of the irrigation hoses. The opening can be used in different positions, close for the young plant and closer towards the edge for the more mature plant. It also gives growers better irrigation management while maximizing the drainage and oxygen uptake that plants need.
The time for change is now
In addition to the sustainability of the use of water in agriculture due to environmental issues, there are other reasons to take care of the irrigation of crops. If you invest in improving and making more efficient your crop irrigation techniques, you will be increasing the productivity of this. This will be greatly reflected in your earnings.
So, there are no excuses for not to be more prudent with the proper use of water in agriculture with the help of the products that Plantlogic has at your disposal.
