Corn with Sub Surface Drip Irrigation
- Brazil
- Corn
Brazil is the third largest global corn producer and the second largest corn exporter, Matto Grosso is Brazil’s largest grain producing state which account for about 30 percent of Brazil’s total corn output in a given year.
It is no surprise that the farmers at this state are looking for better efficient methods that will enable them to produce “More crop per drop”!
This project of 50 Ha. is a successful partnership between NaanDanJain and Syngenta ( a Swiss-based global company that produces agrochemicals and seeds ). The implementation of irrigation technology is part of the Syngenta Seed Development Plan, and consists of the application of an intelligent drip irrigation system that is buried in the field.
The project, done by NaanDanJain Brazil, consist of all water infrastructures , irrigation planning and installation, automation systems components and more.
The irrigation solution chosen is the TopDrip Subsurface Drip Irrigation ( SDI) : The perfect and most efficient solution for intensive crops such as Corn:
- Better uniformity
- Better irrigation efficiency – saving water and fertilizers
- Lower operating pressure and energy
- Saving labor
- Reduction of foliar diseases
- Usage of the system during all hours of the day – no wind influence
- Better uniformity and less water waste in plot edges
- Higher yields (10–20%), mainly due to uniformity and efficient fertilization
