Indian agriculture is undergoing a transformation. Rising input costs, labour shortages, and water scarcity are forcing farmers to rethink traditional farming practices. Automatic drip irrigation, combined with digital farming platforms like Netafim’s GrowSphere™ OS, is emerging as the smartest solution to grow more with fewer resources.
In today’s world of Smart Irrigation, technology is reshaping how we manage water in agriculture and gardening. Traditional irrigation often wastes water and lacks accuracy. By contrast, drip watering systems combined with smart timers and sensors deliver a sustainable, cost-effective, and precision-driven solution.
In today’s agriculture, it’s not just about how much you feed your crops – it’s about how precisely you do it. That’s where Nutrigation comes in: a smart farming method that combines nutrition and irrigation. By delivering water-soluble fertilizers directly to the plant roots through micro drip irrigation, farmers can achieve stronger crops, higher yields, and minimal waste.
In Indian agriculture, timing isn’t just important- it’s everything. With rising input costs, erratic monsoons, and shrinking groundwater levels, farmers need smarter, more reliable ways to manage water and nutrients. That’s where Netafim’s micro irrigation smart controllers step in.
Water scarcity is one of the biggest challenges facing agriculture today. Farmers across the world are under pressure to produce more food with less water, while also ensuring profitability and sustainability. One solution that is gaining momentum is subsurface irrigation- a method that delivers water directly to the plant root zone beneath the soil surface.
A drip system is one of the smartest investments a farmer can make today. By delivering water and nutrients directly to the root zone, an irrigation setup ensures healthier crops, higher yields, and significant water savings. But like any farm equipment, proper maintenance is the key to long-lasting performance.
In India, where every drop of water matters, farmers are turning to smart irrigation methods to reduce costs, increase yield, and improve efficiency. Among these methods, drip irrigation pipes have proven to be one of the most reliable and profitable solutions.
Are you thinking of scaling up your potato cultivation but worried about rising costs, climate variability, and water scarcity? You’re not alone. Potatoes are one of India’s most important crops, yet traditional farming practices often fall short when it comes to yield consistency, water efficiency, and quality.
Onion farming isn’t just about planting seeds and waiting for harvest. This high-value crop demands precision at every stage, especially in water management. With shallow roots and a short window for water uptake, onions are susceptible to both overwatering and underwatering.
Across the world, farmersre facing two major challenges: less water and unpredictable weather. Droughts, delayed rains, and extreme heat are becoming common, making it harder to grow healthy crops. At the same time, the demand for food is rising as populations grow.
Sugarcane grows best in warm tropical and subtropical regions. Its growth and quality depend on key things like the weather, soil, water supply, and timely farming practices. Sugarcane is a very efficient plant, able to turn sunlight into a lot of biomass, usually producing about 60–70 tonnes per hectare each year.
Farming is changing fast. Today, farmers want high yield, good quality crops, and less dependency on labour. One proven method to achieve this is Drip Irrigation. It delivers water and nutrients directly to the plant’s roots in the right amount, at the right time.
Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient ways to grow more with less. However, like every system, it performs best when properly maintained. There are two key components in your drip system, namely drippers and filters, which require periodic cleaning and maintenance. If they’re clogged or non-functioning, your crop may suffer from uneven watering and resulting reduced yields and poor quality yield.
Friends, let's talk about a true game-changer in agriculture: Micro Irrigation Systems.
The Power of "Per Drop More Crop"
The vision behind India's Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojna (PMKSY), particularly its "Per Drop More Crop" component, perfectly encapsulates the essence of micro irrigation.
