Professional consultation

Training can enrich and direct, but sometimes the challenges in the field require professional advice and guidance, I am here to support you professionally when you need it. The consulting service will take place remotely, using the best experts, regarding the following topics.

Irrigation

Answering an in-depth diagnostic questionnaire along with additional information such as a map and photos will allow us to carry out a detailed planning of the irrigation solutions. After the design is approved, we can provide a list of accessories for purchase. The purchase process can be carried out independently with a local supplier, or with our support.

Fertilization

Data analysis and preparation of a fertilization plan, selection of materials and calculation of amounts of fertilizer components, consulting and guidance regarding the implementation of the fertilization plan in the field.

Water dispersion

We will guide you in performing water dispersion tests in relation to sprinklers . We will analyze the data that will be collected and reported by you. in accordance with the findings we will prepare a recommendation document for improving the water dispersion index.
