Precision irrigation to grow first rate tulips
The most beautiful tulips linger in your mind after you passed them by car. The fields full of bright colours, clear contrasts and voluminous bulbs stay etched on your retina. Growers that irrigate the bulb targeted and in measured amounts of water, achieve these results. Drip tape helps with that. Utilise this system optimally to grow the best possible tulips. Bosta explains how.

Experimenting for the perfect composition
No matter if the grower irrigates above ground or underground, he decides himself the ingredients that he adds to the mix to get the most beautiful tulips. With precision irrigation he administers the fertiliser and the water in measured quantities. Experiment on one hectare with a different drip time. With more water or less water. More or less fertiliser. The grower is the bartender who tests, tastes, and creates until he has found the perfect mixture. The result is his harvest. The consumer is his satisfied referent.

Save water
Reels and sprinklers spew water of which a large amount does not reach the intended destination. With drip irrigation the water goes directly to the root zone and the drops find their target fast. Growers that moisturise in this way use half as much water than their colleagues who drive around with a reel. And with this precise way of irrigation the leaves stay dry. That decreases the chance of fungal diseases and weeds.
