My name is R. Palanisamy, a second-generation coconut farmer from Hosur, Tamil Nadu. For over two decades, I relied on traditional irrigation methods—mainly manual watering and basic timers. But in 2023, I switched to a smart irrigation system developed by Mobitech Wireless Solution Pvt. Ltd., and my farming life changed forever.
The Problem with Traditional Irrigation
Before automation, I faced frequent challenges:
- Water wastage: Manual watering often meant over- or under-watering.
- Labor costs: I paid ₹10,000/month for labor to monitor and manage irrigation.
- Inconsistent yield: I never achieved consistent growth, especially during summer.
I was skeptical at first about switching to automated irrigation. But after speaking to a few fellow farmers and seeing a demo, I decided to invest.
Why I Chose Mobitech’s Smart Irrigation System
Mobitech’s team visited my farm and explained everything in detail. Their solution included:
- Soil moisture sensors
- Climate-based irrigation scheduling
- Mobile app monitoring
- 24/7 system alerts
They promised a 20–25% increase in yield and 50% savings in water and labor costs. I installed the system across my 1-acre coconut farm, and the results were quick to follow.
The Impact – 6 Months Later
Here’s what changed after using smart irrigation:
- Water Usage Dropped by 48%: Moisture sensors ensured water was used only when needed.
- Yield Increased by 22%: My coconuts were healthier, larger, and more uniform in quality.
- Labor Cost Eliminated: I no longer needed full-time workers for irrigation.
- Remote Control: I could monitor and control everything from my mobile—even when I traveled.
Most importantly, I’m now confident about every drop of water used on my farm. The return on investment? I recovered my cost in just 14 months.
A Word to Fellow Farmers
If you’re still using traditional methods, it’s time to switch. Smart irrigation isn’t just for large farms or corporate plantations—it’s for every farmer who wants to save water, reduce effort, and boost yield.
Mobitech’s team handled everything—from installation to training—and their support has been excellent.
Conclusion: Smart Irrigation is the Future
Smart irrigation systems are not just a trend; they are the future of sustainable farming. With growing water scarcity and rising costs, adopting intelligent solutions is no longer optional.
Just like me, thousands of farmers are seeing real results from switching to automated, sensor-based irrigation. Don’t wait—make the change and experience the difference yourself.
