Nursery Papers & Clippings
In this month's Nursery Paper: Upgrading an irrigation system can improve uniformity and reduce operating expenses
Irrigation is a critical aspect to the success of any business growing and or maintaining plants. With increased scrutiny of water usage, typically increasing charges in water and reduced availability, all businesses should consider assessing the efficiency of their irrigation system to improve their triple bottom line.
For many production nurseries the question is how to optimise production while reducing water use and doing this in an economic manner. This Nursery Paper seeks to identify the benefits of retrofitting an irrigation system in terms of the efficiencies gained to assist in justifying the return on investment to the business. The concept of the paper is “retrofitting doesn’t cost – it actually saves the nursery in the long run”.
