Growstream offers the following benefits over Flood, Pivot, Sprinkler and conventional Drip irrigation:
Water Savings
Growstream uses 30-50% less water than drip irrigation, and 60-80% less water than pivot irrigation, as it delivers water only when the plant needs it, and avoids evaporation and percolation losses. This can reduce the water bills and the environmental impact of irrigation.
Fertilizer Savings
Growstream uses 50% less fertilizer than drip irrigation, and 70% less fertilizer than pivot irrigation, as it delivers nutrients directly to the root zone, and avoids leaching and runoff losses. This can reduce the fertilizer costs and the pollution of groundwater and surface water.
Energy Savings
Growstream uses 70% less energy than drip irrigation, and 90% less energy than pivot irrigation, as it operates at ultra-low pressure and flow, and requires no controllers or electronics. This can reduce the energy bills and the greenhouse gas emissions of irrigation.
Yield Increases
Growstream increases the yield by 50% or more compared to drip irrigation, and 100% or more than pivot irrigation, as it optimizes the plant health and growth, and reduces the stress and
diseases of the plant. This can increase the revenue and the profitability of the farm.
Soil Health Improvements
Growstream improves the soil health and fertility as it promotes the biological activity and diversity of the soil, and prevents the salinization and erosion of the soil 2 . This can enhance the sustainability and resilience of the farm.
Pest & Disease Reduction
Growstream reduces the losses and disease caused by inefficient irrigation systems, which produce an excess of moisture in root systems, allowing for the development of mould and fungus that impact crop production and health. This can improve the quality and quantity of your crop.
Long Life and Recyclability
Growstream has a long life of 10-15 years, and is fully recyclable at the end of its life. This can reduce the maintenance and replacement costs and the waste generation of the irrigation system.
