Sustainable Irrigation Cleaning, & Water Conditioning Innovation Available In Australia
Water availability and water use efficiency (WUE) are becoming more and more important to farmers to ensure consistent high sustainable production.
The options for farmers in improving WUE through water quality & cleaning/maintaining irrigation systems has been very limited. The only option has been toxic chemicals that are dangerous, have a negative effect on equipment, soils and crops.
One company that understands this better than most is Advanced Nutrients Pty Ltd.
“Water quality and delivery systems of it, is a major consideration in efficient irrigation for all crops. Blockages and restrictions cause higher operating costs, poor WUE, irregular plant growth. In addition poor water penetration and poor distribution throughout the soil or medium only adds to poor WUE”, explains Advanced Nutrients Managing Director Craig Salmon.
“We all understand the importance of irrigation for food and fibre production, but we also understand what a precious, finite resource water is, therefore its use efficiency and sustainability is crucial”.
Advanced Nutrients has developed the product AquaMate™. A highly concentrated liquid of synergistic patented organocatalyst’s, and non-ionic surfactants.
“AquaMate™ is a first for the irrigation industry on several aspects.
It is the only product that is completely safe to handle for farmers and workers, is non-toxic, and non-corrosive to irrigation systems.
It cleans by removal and continued deterrence of biofilm (slime) in irrigation systems. Prevents algae & mineral build-up of iron, calcium, magnesium, and sodium.
And AquaMate™ enriches water with additional dissolved oxygen, improves water distribution within the soil or medium profile, all resulting in more uniform plant growth, less water use, greater yield & crop quality.
These claims have been backed by field trials in Australia, USA, Europe and South Africa. Also conducted, a 3-year study by the University California Davis, S Kaan Kurtural (see website) with outstanding results.
