Pivot Irrigation Damage
- Nozzle clogging
- Pressure loss
- Uneven distribution
Irrigation Filtration Solutions
IRON & MANGANESEARE QUIETLY REDUCINGYOUR YIELD.
Protect irrigation systems before clogging, uneven distribution and crop stress quietly reduce farm profitability.
The Damage
What Untreated Water Costs You
Three quiet failure points that erode irrigation performance and farm profit.
Drip System Clogging
- Emitter blockage
- Unstable flow
- Reduced fertigation efficiency
Crop & Financial Impact
- Lower yield potential
- Uneven crop growth
- Higher farm OPEX
Uneven irrigation quietly reduces farm profitability.
10–20%
Yield Loss
15–30%
Higher Farm OPEX
20–40%
Higher Maintenance Frequency

Irrigation Impact
Estimated Yield Loss Due to High Iron & Manganese in Irrigation Water
| Crop | Optimal Condition (Yield/Ha) | Fe / Mn Level in Water | Estimated Yield Reduction | Loss in Yield (kg/ha) | Loss in Value (USD/ha)* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 8,000 – 10,000 kg | Fe > 2 ppm, Mn > 0.2 ppm | 10% – 20% | 800 – 2,000 kg | 80 – 200 USD |
| Maize | 10,000 – 12,000 kg | Fe > 2 ppm, Mn > 0.2 ppm | 15% – 20% | 300 – 400 kg | 150 – 200 USD |
| Potato | 25,000 – 30,000 kg | Fe > 2 ppm, Mn > 0.2 ppm | 20% – 30% | 100 – 180 kg | 500 – 900 USD |
| Tomato | 60,000 – 90,000 kg | Fe > 2 ppm, Mn > 0.3 ppm | 15% – 25% | 180 – 350 kg | 900 – 1,750 USD |
| Grapes | 15,000 – 20,000 kg | Fe > 2 ppm, Mn > 0.3 ppm | 10% – 20% | 30 – 80 kg | 220 – 960 USD |
| Citrus | 20,000 – 26,000 kg | Fe > 2 ppm, Mn > 0.2 ppm | 10% – 20% | 40 – 100 kg | 400 – 1,000 USD |
