IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THE POTATO: • An important staple food in most countries. It is one of the twelve main crops and has the sixth largest production scope in tons. • Potato production is divided into three main categories: domestic consumption, industry and seeds. • The modern market demands a high level of quality and wide range of shape, size, color, and • density. • The main production markets are Eastern Europe, China, the United States and India. • Potato is an annual plant with a shallow root system of about 30-40 cm. Crops are grown successfully in fertile and well-drained soils....

IRRIGATION Irrigation is one of the most important factors contributing to the success and quality of the potato yield and tolerance to disease. Annual water consumption is estimated at 4,000-7,000 m3/ha. Short irrigation intervals of 3-5 days maintain soil moisture tension below 30 centibar to prevent stress. IRRIGATION SCHEDULING VS.

NAANDANJAIN IRRIGATION SYSTEMS NaanDanJain offers two main systems for optimum irrigation of potatoes: IrriStand and Amirit. These two systems are designed to provide a comprehensive solution for efficient management of all modern potato crops, in all crop development stages. What is the IrriStand system? The IrriStand system for potatoes is a low-flow sprinkler that simulates light rain. The IrriStand is based on a flexible in-and-out solid-set PE system, and is specifically designed to successfully meet potato development stages and requirements: • Germination • Uniform irrigation (while...

AMIRIT SYSTEM Based on the IrriStand concept, the Amirit is a solidset system including 50 mm PE pipes with 10-12 meter segments. Main advantages: flexibility, portability and easy operation. 1/2“ SPRINKLERS FOR IRRISTAND AND AMIRIT Super10 Compact ball-driven sealed mechanism for spacing up to 12 m Available with flow regulator 5022 SD-U Impact sprinkler for spacing up to 12 m Reliable at low-pressure conditions Available with flow regulator 5022 SD Impact sprinkler with single nozzle concept and unique SD hammer for spacing up to 14 m Reliable at low-pressure conditions 6025 SD Impact...

FROST PROTECTION The IrriStand and Amirit can be used efficiently as a frost protection system. Features: • Low precipitation • High uniformity • Optimal sprinkler rotation speed • Cost-effective (IrriStand or Amirit systems cover a large area using relatively small pumps). For large fields with a small pump capacity, an early light irrigation will warm the air above the immediate surface, raising the temperature by 1°C. This is an important factor for emerged potatoes. PESTS AND DISEASE CONTROL Improved management and quality control with IrriStand controlled irrigation Common Scab...

Pesticide control The IrriStand solid-set system enables complete flexibility of irrigation timing and spraying. In some cases, the sprinkler system can be used for chemigation. Soil temperature Tuber quality is affected by soil temperature. Light irrigation helps to cool the soil surface. Fertigation The high water distribution uniformity of the IrriStand system ensures accurate application of fertilizers to each square meter in the field. Hilling The low precipitation rate of the IrriStand prevents the need for additional tillage and eliminates the need to rebuild eroded beds SYSTEM...
