Hose Boom
The development of part-circle rotator sprinkler
heads—eliminating watering on and in front of
pivot towers—prompted IACO to develop one of
its Boombacks to work specifically with Nelson's
PC-R 3000 sprinkler. The simple concept has
produced dramatic results.
By using IACO's Hose Booms to spread water
out near the end of a pivot, irrigators lower the
average application rate, reducing agricultural
runoff and allowing the soil to make full use
of the water being applied. IACO's Innovative
Boom Technology uses this concept to save
water and increase crop quality and yield.
Compared to traditional technologies, Innovative Boom Technology increases water savings by up to 33 percent and yields by as
much as 37 percent.
FieldNET Advisor
FieldNET Advisor, an advanced irrigation management
solution, will be available for use on potatoes and other
crops for the 2018 growing season. The latest addition
to the FieldNET by Lindsay line of products, the tool uses
patented technology to deliver the information growers
need to make faster, better-informed decisions about when,
where and how much to irrigate—improving yields while
reducing water usage and other input costs.
After entering the field's crop type, hybrids and planting
dates, the simple, easy-to-use tool will:
Track the available soil water throughout the field;
Create a high-resolution map showing the soil water
depletion levels across the entire field;
Forecast the crop's future water needs and predict when
and where, without additional irrigation, yield reduction
due to water stress will occur;
Automatically generate VRI prescriptions; and
Integrate into FieldNET's remote monitoring and control
platform.
