Assisted irrigation
The water your crops need, right on time
With this solution, you can decide how to manage the irrigation of your crops. The tool generates customized irrigation schedules—which can be daily or weekly—and you choose whether to apply them manually or automate the irrigation.

How Irrigation Systems Help Your Crops
Forget about spending hours calculating and making adjustments to your irrigation schedule. With automated irrigation, you can:
- Precision irrigation: Each plot receives exactly the amount of water it needs, preventing waste and optimizing resources.
- Smart automation: Adjust your irrigation programming directly on your Agrónic controllers without manual intervention.
- Time and cost savings: reduces manual effort and minimizes human errors, so you can focus on your business.
- Data-driven decisions: Using historical data, sensors, and remote sensing, you’ll gain insight into the actual condition of your crops and their water status.

Compatibility with more than 50 crops
The tool adapts to each crop and each stage of growth. Using water balance models developed by IRTA, the system intelligently calculates the amount of water each plot needs, optimizing your irrigation and improving productivity.
- Stone and pome fruit trees: apple, peach, cherry, apricot, and plum trees, as well as pear trees.
- Almond trees, olive groves, citrus orchards, and vineyards: ensure the quality of your harvest and the vitality of your crops.
- Vegetables and field crops: grains, legumes, oilseeds, and leafy, fruit, and root vegetables, receiving exactly the amount of water they need.

Irrigation zones and visualisation of the map
The tool divides your farms into geolocated irrigation zones, making it easier to manage and control each area. This allows you to react quickly to deviations and improve the yields of your crops.
In each area, you’ll see:
- Irrigation as prescribed by Riego Asistido.
- The actual amount of irrigation applied.
- Comparisons to determine whether irrigation is proceeding as planned.
- Historical consumption data for the campaign, adjusted for water allocations.

Integration of technologies for efficient irrigation
Assisted Irrigation combines data from multiple technologies into a digital twin that integrates:
- Weather data from physical and virtual climatical stations
- Accurate data from sensors installed in the ground or on plants
- Remote Sensing
- Information provided by the irrigator
Benefits of Assisted Irrigation
Precision irrigation
Each plot receives exactly the amount of water it needs, preventing waste and increasing efficiency.
Time savings
Automatic irrigation scheduling and adjustment eliminates the need for daily intervention, freeing up time for other tasks.
Versatility
Ideal for both large and small farms, with over 50 crops already integrated and customizable to your needs.
Productivity and Quality
Maintain crop stability, optimize plant vigor, and improve harvest quality through irrigation tailored to the specific conditions of each field.
Cost reduction and sustainability
You save water and fertilizer, reduce the need for staff, and minimize human errors.
Success Story
Duck River
Duck River optimized irrigation and fertilization for its 2,600 hectares of almond groves in Portugal using VEGGA, successfully centralizing management, reducing water consumption by up to 19.5%, and significantly improving operational efficiency.
Recommended hardware
Irrigation meter
An irrigation meter that monitors the volume of water applied and enables users to control water consumption, analyze irrigation pulses, and detect hydraulic anomalies. At VEGGA, this data is integrated with soil and climate sensors to optimize irrigation efficiency and decision-making.
Solutions for all crops
Almond tree in Portugal / 2,600 hectares
“Since we implemented VEGGA, we have been able to control all our irrigation and fertilization processes in a centralized and efficient manner. This gives us peace of mind and allows us to focus on what matters most: the health and productivity of our almond trees. ”
Paulo Reguino, Director of Irrigation at Duck River
