Making Headway into Agriculture

Innovative drip irrigation solutions can handle every plantation challenge with precision.
 
With a recently expanded portfolio targeted at the agriculture sector, Jebsen & Jessen Technology-Turf & Irrigation Division has been actively marketing its new services in Indonesia.
 
This has led to the completion of the team’s first agricultural irrigation project in the country. Five hectares of drip irrigation systems were installed in a banana plantation in Rancamaya Bogor, West Java, for a notable fruit and crops distribution company.
 
The solution featured the TORO drip irrigation system, comprising the TORO Aqua-Traxx pressure-compensating drip tape, controller, fittings and other supporting components. The drip tape was constructed to enable fair water flow and even fluid distribution along the drip line for maximum irrigation efficiency. A lay-flat setup also enables better control.
 
After completing the final installation and testing, the project was handed over to the customer in August. The system is now running well and performing to the customer’s expectations.
