Improve Coffee Yield with Precision Irrigation

Learn how to Maximize your Coffee Crops

Icon

Coffee crops are increasingly affected by climate-driven drought and yield volatility, especially in sun-grown systems.
Metzer offers precision drip irrigation that delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone, supporting flowering, berry expansion, and bean filling.
Tailored layouts optimize performance across planting densities, soil types, and traditional or modern systems.
Drip fertigation helps meet high nutrient demands while minimizing waste and salinity stress.
With Metzer, growers improve yield stability and fruit quality—even under extreme weather pressure.

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.
