Coffee growers speak about Manna Irrigation

Leading Brazilian coffee growers use Manna and share their success and experience Mateus Tizzo, Manna Irrigation "We are in a region where the demand for technology is very high. It is essential for producers to use this technology since it ensures productivity and the quality of their coffee crops. With Manna they are able to monitor their crops, with our satellite technology and get weekly and daily recommendations regarding how much to irrigate. Therefore, it provides growers with savings in water and resources" Luiz Augusto P. Monguilod, Fazenda Victoria "I have been working for a coffee grower in Cerrado Mieiro region and Bahia since 1998. We use Manna Irrigation program in Monte Carmelo as well as in Encruzilhada. For us, the importance of irrigation is to maximize the use of resources that is increasingly scarce, which is water. Monte Carmelo (MG) is a region where nearly 100% of the crops are irrigated, and same happens in Rahia. Thus, there is a significant battle over the water resources, and the lack of it can cause big impact on production. Manna allows me to use the water properly since we are able to see how much of it is used throughout the week." Reginalo Pena, Monguilod General Executive "It makes it easy and economical because it shows me how much to irrigate weekly or daily because it shows me how much to irrigate weekly and daily. Other than that it allows me to monitor other aspects that may affect the crops, like disease, through the satellite imagery. It assisted us in these aspects that are fundamental, since nowadays we have water problems in the region, so monitoring is excellent. I believe that having this tool in our irrigation areas leads us to modern coffee growing, because undoubtedly, by using suitable irrigation management tool, the area will grow more, and the productivity improvements will be seen in the next harvest. So, we expect to see the increase in sacks per hectare, in the next harvesting cycle. We also gather all data that is generated about water usage, invested resources, and precipitation of rain in a table where all the data is recorded. With that, the producers will have all of this simplicity and back up, to know how much resources they invested in their crops. All of this without any device installed in the ground, anywhere, and anytime. I am at home and can see, by using my cell phone, what has been happening and what is happening right now in the farm. Therefore, it makes me confident about the information in real-time. These are the benefits of Manna Irrigation Intelligence, increasingly helping the producers manage the farm over the days.
