Irrigation plans are easily created with the map-based FieldMAP software. The Precision VRI system has several operation modes, one of which allows you to set irrigation depths (eg, 10mm, 5mm, 8.5mm) on your map and then the VRI controller takes care of the rest, pulsing valves and controlling the speed of the irrigator towers accordingly. Another option allows you to set percentages. You can set areas to receive any amount from 0-100%. You then set the application depth on the irrigator’s controller and the VRI controller will pulse the valves to lower the application depth to the percentage set on the map. Growsmart Precision VRI is compatible with centre pivots, laterals, pivoting laterals and reverse pivoting laterals. It can be installed on new irrigation systems or as an add-on to existing systems.
