Smart Irrigation Month Q&A: Precision Laboratories

What does smart irrigation look like to Precision Laboratories?

Smart irrigation means using all the tools available to you to make sure you are getting the most out of your water resources. This includes auditing your irrigation system, using good agronomic practices and can also mean adding a soil surfactant or irrigation chemistry to your water.

How does Precision Laboratories promote smart irrigation?

Precision Laboratories manufactures irrigation water optimizers. These irrigation chemistries address the relationship between soil and water. IWOs help water infiltration into the soil, and then help hold the water in the rootzone to create a better moisture environment for growing plants. Using these products helps make sure that the water doesn’t run off or leach away after it leaves the irrigation system.

This year’s Smart Irrigation Month theme is “Proud of our past. Focused on the future.” What makes you proud of smart irrigation’s past, and how are you focusing on smart irrigation’s future?

Our industry has already made great strides in improving the efficiency of irrigation systems, which is something to be proud of. There are so many ways that we are using our ever-evolving technology to improve this area.

What makes you a champion of promoting smart irrigation? Is there something new or different you’d like to try in order to improve smart irrigation?

Soil surfactants are not new to the market but what sets Precision Laboratories apart is that we offer four different types of products to address the need or issues in an irrigation system based on the soil type.
