Irrigation Automation in Karnataka | 20-Acre Guava & Dragon Fruit Farm

When 20 Acres Need More Than Just Water

Irrigation Automation in Karnataka is helping modern farmers manage irrigation more efficiently across large agricultural farms. On this 20-acre farm in Devanahalli, farmer Rajasekar grows guava and dragon fruit, with 18 irrigation valves that need to be managed across different sections of the farm.

For farmer Rajasekar, the goal was simple: make irrigation easier to manage while bringing better control to the farm. Instead of depending completely on manual valve operation, the farm needed a smarter way to manage its irrigation system.

That requirement led to the installation of the Dcon Ag AIR wireless irrigation automation system from Mobitech.

The Challenge: Managing Irrigation Across a Large Fruit Farm

A 20-acre farm is not just about growing crops. It is about managing water, valves, irrigation sections and timing — day after day.

Rajasekar’s farm uses both a borewell and pond as water sources. The farm has 18 irrigation valves. Operating and coordinating these irrigation points manually can require considerable time and repeated movement around the farm.

As the farm grows, irrigation management can become just as important as cultivation itself. The right automation can help farmers spend less time on routine valve operation and more time focusing on their crops and farm.

Why Rajasekar Chose Irrigation Automation in Karnataka

For fruit crops such as guava and dragon fruit, irrigation needs to be managed carefully according to the farm’s requirements. When several irrigation zones are involved, manually controlling every valve can become repetitive and time-consuming.

The Dcon Ag AIR system was selected to bring wireless irrigation automation to the 20-acre farm. With 18 valves connected to the automation system, irrigation management becomes more organized and convenient.

For the farmer, this is not simply about adding technology to a farm. It is about reducing routine work, improving control and making everyday irrigation management easier.
