Wilo launches fertigation trolley to transform agriculture in India

New Delhi: Wilo, a global company in water management solutions, has introduced the Wilo Fertigation Trolley, a system that combines irrigation and fertilization. This solar-powered device reduces fertilizer use by 40%, increases crop yield by 30%, and improves water use, offering a practical solution for farmers.

India’s agriculture sector faces challenges with high input costs. The Fertigation Trolley delivers the exact amount of nutrients and water crops need at each growth stage. This helps conserve resources, reduce labor costs, and lower production expenses.

As part of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, the Fertigation Trolley is manufactured locally, ensuring easy access to spare parts and service. Farmers can rely on this system for their needs without concerns about maintenance.

Mr. Dilip Kale of Sadguru Farms, Pune, has used the Fertigation Trolley to improve his crop yields and water use. His farm has become an example for others in the region, encouraging neighboring farmers to try this technology.

Ravindra Ulangwar, Head-Water Management at Wilo, stated, “This solution supports farmers in using water and fertilizers more efficiently, which strengthens farming practices and helps improve rural incomes.”

The Fertigation Trolley aims to make agriculture more efficient by providing tools that support informed decisions about water quality, soil pH, and nutrient levels. Wilo’s system helps farmers address key challenges while contributing to sustainable agriculture in India.
