Rethinking the Irrigation Toolkit: When MP Rotator Nozzles Offer a Practical Alternative to Drip Systems
Micro or drip irrigation has become an important part of modern landscape design due to its discreet subsurface installation and highly targeted water delivery. However, this approach can sometimes come with distinct maintenance challenges that lead to higher long-term operating costs. At the same time, advanced overhead irrigation technology can achieve comparable or greater water savings...
Cooling technologies to protect trees in the South of France
Across southern France, arboriculture is facing a new reality. Climate variability, increasing summer heat, and unpredictable weather events are transforming the way fruit growers manage their orchards. Maintaining fruit quality, tree health, and stable yields now requires innovative irrigation and climate-management strategies.
The Grand Stadium of Tangier, Fully Renovated
The Grand Stadium of Tangier has just been renovated in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations. The stadium’s capacity has increased from 65,000 to 75,600 seats, the VIP areas have been modernized, and the playing fields and irrigation system have been completely renovated. This modernization aims to make it one of the premier venues for...
Irritec, cultivating sustainability through art
The group strengthens its commitment to environmental stewardship through Replanting Human Beings™, the project by artist and photographer Giuseppe La Spada. This marks the launch of the 2026 edition of Irritec Stories, which promotes sustainable technology through art.
Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI): principles, best practices, and keys to success for a sustainable installation
Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is currently one of the most efficient and sustainable irrigation techniques. It offers all the advantages of drip irrigation while avoiding any clutter on the ground, thus facilitating mechanization. Drip irrigation allows water and fertilizer to be directed directly to the root zone, optimizing agronomic efficiency while reducing water loss and evaporation.
Cavaillon goes wireless for smarter irrigation and greener public spaces
The municipality of Cavaillon wanted to modernize its irrigation infrastructure in several green spaces, with the aim of reducing the number of controllers and centralizing watering operations.  The goal was clear: to replace obsolete controllers and unify the city's irrigation management under a single cloud-based solution: the Hydrawise® irrigation management platform.
Off-season preventive maintenance for pivot and lateral systems – recommendations to achieve high machine performance
As fields across Europe rest during the winter months, it’s the perfect time for growers to focus on an essential task often overlooked during the busy growing season: preventative maintenance for irrigation equipment.
Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture: The Future of Irrigation Management Beyond Remote Control
By Bruno Perroni, Lindsay - Artificial Intelligence (AI), precision agriculture, and smart technologies for irrigation are no longer futuristic concepts—they are rapidly becoming central pillars of modern farming. While these terms have existed in the agricultural lexicon for years, their practical adoption has accelerated, particularly in areas like irrigation, crop monitoring, and decision support.
Renovation of the Saint Germain-en-Laye golf course : irrigation serving the future
After many years of use, the 1980s irrigation system began to show its age. Installer Arrosage Concept carried out a complete renovation of the irrigation system between October 2023 and April 2024, expanding the lake's capacity, replacing the old main pipes, and replacing the Rain Bird Nimbus II decoder system by a Rain Bird® IC System™...
Five 15-metre-tall sequoias were planted in a park in the city of Asnières.
The project involved extending a landscaped park between a group of residential buildings in Asnières.
Sustainable Pumping Offers EU Taxonomy Advantages
- By Rob Welke, Water Pumping Institute There is significant scope within present-day irrigation design guidelines to improve both water efficiency and pumping system energy efficiency, thereby contributing meaningfully to the objectives of EU Taxonomy. EU Taxonomy frames sustainability within economic activities and supports those who make substantial progress toward sustainability criteria.
Carbon credits : how to make it real for farmers ?
By Jonathan Baravir, Rivulis - Agriculture holds a unique double opportunity to reverse adverse climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and removing carbon from the atmosphere. By adopting more sustainable farming practices, farmers can increase their profitability and significantly contribute to environmental goals.
