Underground Supply Pipes
Heavy workload and damages on field led to thoughts about underground pipes for effective water supply.
Underground Drip Irrigation On All Hop Fields
Aiming on excellent quality and plant health and at the same time reaching efficient use of water and resources does not need to be contradicting. It is possible to create win-win-situations in hop-cultivations.

The utilization of tools installed in the field to reduce the use of water. In particular, one meteo station and 5 “Diviner” are used. “Diviner” is a tool which permit, through a computer linked to the sensors in the soil, to measure the soil moisture. The decision to irrigate is based on data obtained from […]

All water used in the house is refiltered in the wetland wastewater treatment (reed bed) and then collected into a water reservoir of 13 m3 located below. This reservoir is an eco-biotope full of natural life with wetland plants and animals. These water supplies help to irrigate the garden and fruit orchard below the pool […]

An old well was restored and deepened; moreovera wind pump was installed in the pasture. The water is pumped into a tank above the ground from which waterer bowls with float valves for grazing animals are supplied. In addition, the farm’s hydrological conditions have been improved through the planting of nearby wood and permanent grassland.

Irrigation is performed with two irrigation drums with sprinklers. Water is distributed via underground pipes with hydrants mounted every 80m, matching the tramline spacing (27m), so that every third tramline can be irrigated. Water is distributed via electric pumps that can be controlled by a cell phone.

Only about 18% of the German hop acreage is irrigated (exclusively drip irrigation). A subsidy program in Germany provided strong support for the installation of irrigation systems in hop-growing farms between 2008 and 2010 (over 3000 ha of hop acreage subsidized, with a subsidy of € 2000/ha). The solution implemented in the farm consists in […]

The purified wastewater from the Ardo factory in Ardooie is stored in a 150.000 m³ litres large basin. Then, a 23 km long irrigation network distributes the water towards the surrounding fields. Farmers can connect their irrigation reel on one of the 150 branching points and start immediately with the irrigation of their crops.

The implementation of a remote-control system with sensors managed by a Data Logger connected to a web platform (DSS). The station has 3 sensors connected at different soil depth levels (10, 30 and 55 cm); it also monitors air humidity, air and soil temperature, solar incidence. Control of the humidity of the wet bulb, control […]
