This award honors an innovative irrigation project.


Netafim & Gallo Vineyards Inc. Variable Drip Irrigation Project


In 2012, Gallo embarked on an initiative to address spatial variability through irrigation system design, data mining and response to data. After partnering with Netafim, the resulting variable rate drip irrigation concept has resulted in higher yields between 10 and 20 percent versus grower standard in the trial period between 2013 and 2015, and water-use efficiency increased 15 to 20 percent.
