Drip irrigation and blueberries on the open ground 

We promise a good yield with precision irrigation by using drip irrigation. Watering very frequently in small amounts: that is the recipe for a successful harvest of blueberries. The small fruit consists of 85% water and that is exactly the crux for many growers. The plant must stay moist, but it must not ‘drown’. Promise a good yield with precision irrigation by using drip irrigation. We explain how it works.

Pick the advantages of precision irrigation


Precision irrigation sends the moisture directly into the root zone.
Because of the measured amounts, the grower saves water and thus meets the requirements from the government that it sets for growers and the use of water. 
The leaves also stay dry. That diminishes the chance for fungi and the soil stays drier so that weeds cannot grow.

Solutions in blueberries irrigation

Double irrigation

Apple trees and potato plants get their nutrients from a single irrigation system. Not so for the blueberry plant. Like a princess, it receives drops from all sides. In order to grow optimally, the plant needs a double supply of water.

So, ensure a double-sided drip irrigation at the roots. Install hoses with the drippers at a distance of 25 centimetres. This way the plant can grow like the queen of berries.

Pulse irrigation on the open ground

Growing blueberries is precision work. The small size of the fruit requires punctual irrigation. That means giving water frequently in small amounts. Every grower uses a different schedule.

With pulse irrigation it is easy to accomplish this working method. Install the drippers at the distance that the grower requests. Set the timer and the desired irrigation frequency. The pump will do the rest.

Bevo's choice

Bosta advises a self-locking hose for small crop plants on the open ground, such as blueberries. This hose remains filled with water after the pump is shut off.

At the set time drops will be administered everywhere at the same time. This ensures that all plants will receive the same amount of water at the same time.
