Irrigation Systems

Blueberry Irrigation Systems

Blueberries have shallow, fibrous roots and almost no tolerance for getting irrigation wrong. They need frequent, precise watering and careful fertigation. WiseConn helps blueberry growers deliver exactly that: automate every valve, monitor soil moisture in real time, and water based on data, all on top of the drip system you already run.

Why precision irrigation matters for blueberries

Blueberry roots are shallow and fibrous, so the plant has a small buffer against both water stress and water-logging. Blueberries also need frequent, light irrigations and tightly managed fertigation, which is very hard to do well on a fixed schedule.

Precision irrigation gives you the continuous data and automated, frequent control that a sensitive, shallow-rooted crop like blueberry depends on, block by block.

Automate your blueberry irrigation with WiseConn

WiseConn brings field hardware and the DropControl platform together into a single system for managing irrigation across your whole operation. Rugged field nodes monitor and control the operation, 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 moisture and weather data, not a fixed calendar. Growers typically reduce water use by 20 to 40 percent depending on their starting point.

Energy savings

Pump only when the crop needs it and shift watering to lower-cost hours.
