What is the expected yield for drip irrigated tea plantations?

Yields are affected by climate and variety of tea, but an average of 3.5 - 6 tons/ha can be expected.

How much water can be saved when switching to drip irrigation?

Compared to flood irrigation, precision irrigation can save you more than 50% of water.

Can my tea plantation be irrigated remotely?

Yes. Advanced digital tools allow you to activate and manage your irrigation and tea nutrition from the palm of your hand, giving you remote access by mobile, tablet or computer - wherever you are.

Why should I choose drip irrigation rather than methods that seem less expensive?

Cost is important, but a faster return of investment is crucial for your business. Drip irrigation technology leads to significant savings in water, fertilizer and labor, so not only does the yield increase, but also the crop quality. Economic calculations show precision irrigation is the most sustainable system for tea plantation long-term, delivering higher economic returns than other methods.

Which factors will help me increase my tea plant productivity?

Precision irrigation, fertigation via the drip system, and implementation of comprehensive agronomical practices - such as correct pruning - are key factors for greater productivity

Can I use fertilizers in my drip system?

Yes! Not only can you use them, but you also have full control over how much fertilizer you use. Various trials and global best practices have shown that fertilizing in small amounts throughout the growing period keeps the plant root zone continuously nutritional, with no stress, ensuring a fresh quality tea leaf.

Conserve water and increase tea yield with precision irrigation

Tea Yield is often limited by insufficient or ineffective delivery of water and nutrients required for optimum growth and quality. Precision irrigation produces high yields and stable production in all conditions.

Why precision irrigation for tea?

Overcome environmental challenges and reduce risk
Unfavorable weather conditions have resulted in a decrease in tea production. With precision irrigation, climate-related risks are eliminated as the tea plant receives the correct amount of water and nutrients.
Optimal nutrition - even in the wet season
During the rainy season, nutrient leaching can be a real problem for tea crops. Most of it can be avoided by applying fertilizers through the drip irrigation system directly to the root zone.
Drip irrigation – everyone’s cup of tea
Whether you grow on a single hectare or thousands of hectares, on a slope or on a flat plot, Precision irrigation is the solution that can meet your special needs.
Get more from every hectare
With precision irrigation and modern agricultural practices such as fertigation, mechanical harvesting and Intensive pruning, you can increase productivity per hectare and deliver a high-quality product.
Faster plant-to-commercial production
By keeping tea plants healthy with precision nutrition and no water stress, the time of plant-to-commercial production is reduced, leading to a faster profit.
