Programme: Rural Development Programme

The current project proposal envisages the construction of automated drip irrigation systems for cherry orchards, as well as the construction of an automated system for protection against hail and pests. Additionally, the applicant envisages delivery and installation of a refrigeration installation with an ethylene removal system included.
The construction of the drip irrigation system includes the following main elements:
- Delivery and installation of filter unit, electric pump unit and diesel generator;
- Delivery and installation of buffer tanks;
- Delivery and laying of supply pipelines - primary and secondary, with included connecting elements and control units - solenoid valves and control programmers;
- Delivery and installation of drip hose (irrigation wings) with external drippers and connecting elements.
The drip irrigation system delivers water directly to the most root-saturated area. In this way, better results are achieved through low energy consumption and efficient irrigation management, as well as long-term operation of the plantation and the system.
The main aspect of the company's investment program is the automated system for protection against hail, frost and insects with a supporting structure of perennials, which will be built to protect the cherry plantations planned for creation. The system through electronic modules and sensors detects changes in the environment and automatically raises or lowers the network protecting the trees. This provides effective protection against hail and pests and achieves better frost protection and microclimate control.
With the implementation of the project and the payment of the financial aid, the company undertakes to maintain the average number of staff in the farm established for the previous year, submitting the project proposal.
