Cotton Irrigation Solutions

Cost-effective, labor-saving solutions
Efficient Water Management Solutions to Maximize Cotton Yield
Cotton production is critical globally as a source of fiber, livestock feed and other products. While it is most commonly associated with fiber and textile uses, the seed is a valuable byproduct of cotton harvest. It can be used for cattle feed and processed into other food and feed products.
If it’s related to cotton irrigation, we can help.
The Challenges of Cotton Irrigation
The Challenges of Cotton Irrigation

Although cotton is a drought-tolerant crop, and it developed in arid climates, irrigation can improve both quantity and quality of the fiber harvested, especially in sandy soils and in areas with episodic drought during critical growth periods.

Irrigation Solutions Customized for Cotton Farms
Irrigation Solutions Customized for Cotton Farms

Excess irrigation is neither necessary nor desired, especially early in the season, since this can lead to excessive vegetative growth, and late-season over-irrigation can lead to boll rot. Over-irrigating late in the season can exacerbate boll rot, as well as wasting water. The University of Georgia recommends no irrigation after 10% of the bolls are open.

Adapting Cotton Irrigation to Local Conditions
Adapting Cotton Irrigation to Local Conditions

Because of the sensitivity of cotton to water and the importance of timing irrigation precisely, knowing the amount of moisture in your soil is vital. Soil moisture sensors are a popular method to check soil moisture status and are commonly integrated with irrigation scheduling software.
