Press release from: Transparency Market Research-Energy & Mining
Precision irrigation is defined as the application of a precise amount of water at the correct time and appropriate locations in an
agricultural field. It is a part of precision agriculture which also includes variable-rate nutrients, seeding, and pesticide
application. Currently, around 80% of cultivated land is not irrigated at all and relies on only rainwater. The remaining 20%
uses three methods of irrigation: flood (surface), micro (drip), and mechanized irrigation. Globally, flood irrigation is a widely
used method. However, it is an inefficient technique as it leads to the entire field getting watered, including immense areas of
the field where no crops are being grown. As the fertilizer is delivered to the field through water, a large amount of fertilizer is
also wasted. Moreover, different regions within the field require different amounts of water depending on the soil porosity.
Potential for conservation arises from not irrigating parts of land without crops and through the efficient utilization of water.
Though the economic value of using precision irrigation has not been justified yet, the growing need for water conservation is
likely to increase its desirability.

Precision irrigation is projected to save approximately 1015% of water used in traditional irrigation. Other benefits include
increased harvestable area, decreased incidence of diseases, and leaching. The shift to commercial machines for use in
precision irrigation is uncomplicated and can be accomplished easily. Soil moisture and crop water requirement are relevant
factors for these systems and can be monitored in different ways. However, precision irrigation is faced with a number of
drawbacks which prohibit its widespread use in agriculture. Its usage is not economical at the current grain price to water cost
ratio, the addition of fertilizers or animal waste to irrigation water needs to be heavily regulated, and the rate of infiltration of
water into the soil and the water storage capacity of soil vary spatially. If any or both of these attributes are lower in one
location than in the bulk of the field, it results in surface runoff despite the machine being correctly designed for a major
portion of the field. Runoff collecting within the irrigated area can create a pond, causing aeration damage to the crop.
Increasing attention to conservation of water in places facing a scarcity of water, technical developments such as GPS
monitoring systems, growing environmental awareness, regulatory constraints on water use, and governmental incentives are
likely to increase the use of precision irrigation in agriculture. The adoption of this technology is more widespread in the
development sector as growers have access to capital. The considerable size of the fields also justify the use of precision
irrigation. The U.S., Canada, and Australia are at the forefront of implementing precision irrigation as a means for increasing
crop yield, as the extent of mechanization in agriculture is already significant in these countries. In Europe, the U.K. was the
first to utilize precision irrigation, with Germany and France also rapidly adopting this technology. There exists a huge
potential for precision irrigation in the GCC, which invests heavily in innovative solutions to overcome the problem of scarcity
of water to boost crop production. The technology is currently not economically viable in most parts of Asia Pacific and Africa
Seite 1 / 2and is therefore restricted to niche agricultural research institutes in these regions. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and some parts
of China are attractive markets for precision irrigation.
Key players in this market are Valmont Industries, Inc, Hortau, Precision Irrigation Services (Aust) Pty Ltd, Hunter
Industries, Netafim, Precision Lawn Irrigation, Inc., Trimble Inc., Aquaspy, and CropMetrics.
