Irrigation

Water is an invaluable natural resource that has tremendous impact on a crop’s success. It is also finite in supply and often vastly over-applied. Whether you have overlapping pivots or some just downright bad dirt, our irrigation solution allows you to control the flow of water out of every nozzle on your pivot to irrigate where you need and spare where you don’t. It also allows you the ability to monitor and control your pivot from a laptop or personal device and save precious time and fuel driving to the field for routine inspection.

Featured Products & Services

Optimal Flow Irrigation enables you to avoid watering areas that do not need it, and focus those resources on other areas of the field. With Optimal Flow, you can use the same standard equipment on your pump while keeping the pressure regulated across the entire pivot.

Irrigate-IQ Optimal Flow Irrigation

Key Features

No matter how much water you apply, some areas of your field just don’t produce high yields. And when you don’t have a variable frequency drive pump, it’s next to impossible to avoid applying a constant rate across your entire field—resulting in wasted water and wasted costs.

Pressure Regulation

  • Irrigate-IQ optimal flow ensures the pressure of your pivot stays within a defined range, even when operating in no spray areas. If the pivot exceeds a maximum range, the system will go into a safety mode to reduce the pressure, so you can be confident your pivot is not at risk of damage.

Reliable Values

  • Industry-leading, 3-way vent to atmosphere valves ensure the system performs reliably all season. The rugged, fully-sealed housing prevents clogging and blockage, even when pumping unwanted debris. Plus, the valves default to the open position, so water will always flow, even during unexpected system events.

Individual Nozzle Control

  • Irrigate-IQ optimal flow gives you control over each individual nozzle based on the irrigation plan and location. Individual nozzle control provides the highest level of accuracy for your no spray areas.

Flexible and Scalable

  • The Irrigate-IQ solution is flexible and scalable to suit your irrigation needs. It can be installed on a many pivot makes and models that have basic or smart panels. You can start with a basic monitor and control system and upgrade to optimal flow at any time using the same base hardware. There is no loss of initial investment.
Monitor and control your irrigation system from any computer, smart phone, or tablet—so you don’t have to waste time going out to the field.

Irrigate-IQ Monitor & Control

Key Features

Monitor and control your irrigation system from any computer, smart phone, or tablet—so you don’t have to waste time going out to the field.

Remote Monitoring and Control

  • Use the Connected Farm Irrigate app or the Irrigate-IQ software to monitor and control your pivots. Because the app works with most smartphones and tablets, you can manage your pivots when you are on-the-go.

Text Alerts

  • Automatic text alerts keep you informed of expected or unexpected application events as they are happening, without requiring you to drive to the field to check the pivot status. These alerts also help field crews determine if they need to move equipment or if they can work in a particular field that is being irrigated.

Sector Control

  • Sector control allows you to water your fields more efficiently, especially if you planted different crops with different water requirements under your pivot. Divide your field into wedge-shaped sectors and control their speeds to apply the desired amount of water in each sector.

Flexible and Scalable

  • The Irrigate-IQ solution is flexible and scalable to suit your irrigation needs. It can be installed on a many pivot makes and models that have basic or smart panels. You can start with a basic monitor and control system and upgrade to either optimal flow or variable rate irrigation at any time using the same base hardware. There is no loss of initial investment.
