Irrigation Systems

Pistachio Irrigation Systems

Pistachios are a major California crop, grown on large acreage where water efficiency is both an agronomic and a regulatory issue. WiseConn helps pistachio growers irrigate with precision: automate every valve, monitor soil moisture and weather in real time, and water based on data, all on top of the system you already run.

Why precision irrigation matters for pistachios

Pistachio is grown at scale, especially in California, where the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act and the cost of pumping make every acre-inch count. Growers often use deficit irrigation strategies, which only work with precise, verifiable water control.

Precision irrigation gives you block-by-block control and the data to apply and document an efficient watering strategy across large pistachio blocks.

Automate your pistachio irrigation with WiseConn

WiseConn brings field hardware and the DropControl platform together into a single system for managing irrigation across your whole orchard. Rugged field nodes monitor and control the orchard, while DropControl gives you a web dashboard and a mobile app to manage it from anywhere.

  • RF-M1 monitoring node for soil and environmental monitoring across the orchard.
  • RF-V1 valve controller for wireless control of latch valves, block by block.
  • RF-C1 irrigation controller for local control with multiple inputs and relays.
  • RF-X1 monitoring and control for multi-sensor, flexible automation.

DropControl is built on an open architecture, so you can start with monitoring on your current setup and scale to full automation at your own pace.

How it works

  • Field nodes collect soil moisture, weather and system data and send it into DropControl to help make better informed decisions.
  • Data flows to the cloud and is available in real time through the DropControl web platform and mobile app.
  • You define irrigation rules and schedules, and the system runs them automatically, opening and closing valves block by block.
  • Three roles, one platform: irrigators run day-to-day watering from the mobile app, farm managers make decisions and report from the web, and owners track water use and sustainability.

What growers gain

Water savings

Irrigate from real soil and weather data, not a fixed calendar. Growers typically reduce water use by 20 to 40 percent depending on their starting point.
