What is Irrigation Preparation and Why Should I Do it?

Maybe you are looking to introduce the latest, cutting-edge irrigation layouts into your cropping process and plans. Are you redesigning your irrigation systems? Maybe you are part of the dynamic and rapidly changing cotton cropping industry…

Maybe your avocadoes, macadamia, citrus or grape crop irrigation systems need renovating for efficiency…
Or are you just looking to maximise water efficiency in our drought-prone Australian environment?

Irrigation preparation is critical, and Grizzly has the machinery and equipment to help you do it.

Irrigation preparation

Specific crops have specific requirements relating to irrigation preparation. Sometimes trees need to be planted on a raised bed for proper drainage. Some crops require ripping under the roots to ensure correct and proper breaking up of hard pans to prevent root rot or root disease.

Annual or seasonal crops such as rice, cotton, sorghum, legumes, cereals, etc. also have a specific requirement in irrigation, watering techniques and planning for these.
In any new layouts, be it for flood irrigation, channel irrigation or dripper irrigation, laser levelling or fording will be necessary. In these situations, it is imperative to get consistently broken or tilled soil, taking off high points to ensure a constant, steady and consistent lay of the land. The right equipment to do this efficiently and well is critical.
