SOLAR POWER FERTIGATION SYSTEM (SPFS)
IAI provides a unique solar powered irrigation solution, fit for purpose to the small holder farmer, and particularly the rice farmer.
The IAI designed state-of-the-art Solar Power fertigation Systems (SPFS) increase crop yields and significantly reduce the farmers’ production costs.
The SPFS technology, an integrated system for irrigation and fertilization, enables a second annual cycle of crop cultivation during the dry season and saves the high cost and environmental impact of diesel generated irrigation.
The SPFS further monitors (online) the performance of the system itself at any given time and software and satellite tracking technology monitor crop cycles, providing both government agencies and private sector entities with the ability to properly assess seasonal yields and assist the farmers with remote extension services.
The systems, are installed currently in hundreds of locations and in particular in the Philippines and have demonstrated outstanding results to the full satisfaction of the recipients.
