Solutions include Adi and Vered for sloped terrain, and Lin or Idit for flat land. All options come with PC and non-PC models for flexible irrigation setups.
Metzer’s fertigation systems apply precise nutrients on demand, adjusted per crop phase—helping maximize yield while preventing leaching and nutrient waste.
Mature plantations need 150–300 kg/ha of nitrogen, 100–200 kg/ha of phosphorus, and 150–300 kg/ha of potassium, with higher demands in sun-grown setups.
For dense, sun-grown plantations, Metzer offers closely spaced drippers that match high transpiration and growth rates—boosting yields by up to 3x compared to traditional systems.
Metzer systems use 1–2 laterals per row and 30–60cm emitter spacing, adjusted by soil type and planting density to ensure continuous wetting and uniform moisture.
Key stages include flowering, berry expansion, and bean filling. Controlled water during flowering improves blooming, while steady moisture is vital during fruit development.
Due to climate change, dry spells are more frequent and severe, especially for shade-grown coffee. Without irrigation, plants face yield loss and stress.
