Metzer customizes emitter spacing and flow rates based on soil type and crop needs. Whether for clay or sandy soils, layouts are optimized to ensure effective wetting and lower system costs.
Cotton generally needs a minimum of 500 mm of water per growing season. Proper irrigation scheduling is key to meeting this demand and preventing over- or under-irrigation
Drip fertigation delivers nutrients in precise doses throughout the growth cycle, especially during flowering. This increases uptake efficiency, reduces fertilizer loss, and improves fiber quality.
Cotton grows well in deep, well-drained soils like clay and silt loam, with a pH between 5.8 and 8. It requires soils that retain moisture but also allow oxygen to reach the roots
Yes. Cotton is moderately tolerant to salinity, and Metzer’s systems are designed to manage salinity levels and support fertigation using treated wastewater (TWW), reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
Metzer’s drip systems provide uniform water and fertigation directly to the active root zone, ensuring optimal growing conditions and maximizing productivity while reducing resource use.
Cotton needs steady moisture, especially during flowering and boll development. Water stress during these phases can lead to boll shedding, reduced fiber quality, and lower yields
