Four New Zealand farmers have been selected as finalists of the inaugural Zimmatic Sustainable Irrigation Awards.

A process that combines fertiliser and irrigation gives farmers control, says Graeme Pile, Fertigation Systems co-founder.

Correct effluent management can deliver savings on fertiliser costs, increased grass growth, while also ensuring environmental compliance regulations are met.

Irrigation New Zealand is calling on whoever forms the next government after September 20’s election to join with it to develop a national water strategy for the country.

A national water strategy and water storage facilities top the wish list of the country’s 3500 irrigators.

IrrigationNZ’s biennial conference, coming up in April, aims to “to lead the conversation on the future of water for Aotearoa.”
