Bewässerung mit Regenkanone oder Tropfbewässerung im Kartoffelbau? NETAFIM hat beides 2019 und 2020 in einem Praxistest gegenübergestellt. Das Ergebnis bei vergleichbarem Ertrag: Mit Tropfbewässerung wurden rund 52 Prozent Wasser und rund 19 Prozent weniger Stickstoff benötigt. Kai-Uwe Eisenhut, Diplom-Agraringenieur bei Netafim, stellt die Details im Folgenden dazu vor.

Turkey has 28 million hectares of arable land, of which only 33% has access to water for irrigation. Agriculture is heavily dependent on irrigation and consumes about two thirds of available water resources. Uneven distribution of water resources, fragmented land, adverse climate conditions, sub-optimal irrigation and agricultural practices further add to the challenge. The introduction of efficient irrigation technologies for increasing agricultural productivity remains a priority for Turkey.

During the recent 2019 harvest, Netafim set out to investigate the use of current harvesting machinery in orchards with multiple on-ground driplines. The results are promising and indicate that machinery and driplines may be compatible after all.
