Turnkey Subsurface irrigation Precise Irrigation for Medical Cannabis
A fully automated greenhouse project for Thailandโs first large-scale government cannabis cultivation was successfully completed under COVID-19 restrictions
How We Made It Happen
Challenge
Developing a fully automated irrigation system for Thailandโs first large-scale governmental medical cannabis cultivationโdelivered during the logistical and operational constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic. The system had to meet strict agronomic requirements, support varying climate zones, and comply with high-level security protocols.
Resolution
Metzer delivered a comprehensive solution for four climate-controlled greenhouses spanning 3,800 mยฒ. The project included design and installation of RO-treated water supply, climate-specific fertigation systems, and a centralized control room. Metzerโs Gali PCND 2 l/h on-line drippers ensured accurate irrigation per plant. Advanced automation, along with full surveillance and security infrastructure, enabled consistent operation and high grower satisfaction despite pandemic-related constraints.
