Community micro irrigation involves integration of farmers. This refers to differences between the area, crop, terrain, soil, and as micro irrigation is a relatively new concept in agriculture, it would require training, capacity building of all the associated farmers. Nevertheless, hand to hand support within farmers is a fundamental requisite for a better yield and a better quality yield.

In regard to community micro irrigation, Netafim offers the following services.

  • Soil and water testing
  • Land preparation
  • Crop selection and geometry
  • Fertigation, irrigation scheduling, pest and disease control measures
  • Post harvesting technologies
  • Building associations with agro-input companies
  • System operations and maintenance training
