Brazil: Aqua-4D installs water treatment systems at melon farms

Planet Horizons Technologies, a Swiss company that designs, manufactures and distributes modular systems for efficient use of irrigation, recently completed a project in which they installed their Aqua-4D Water Systems at Agrícola Famosa, a Brazilian grower of melons and watermelons.



"Thanks to Aqua-4D, we have witnessed an increase in overall quality of the produced fruits as well as a higher quantity per square meter while irrigating with high conductivity water (up to EC6)," says Richard Müller, CFO at Agrícola Famosa.



"These systems have increased our overall yields (up to 20%) as well as the percentage of export quality of the melons in zones irrigated with brackish water."



Müller reports a quick return of investment after installing the systems, and says they want to implement them on other fruit and vegetables varieties as well.
