Producers have access to advanced data on genetics, fertiliser programmes, crop protection and machinery performance. Irrigation decisions, however, still rely heavily on experience, visual observation and assumptions developed in the field.
Komet Irrigation, an Austrian multinational specialising in precision sprinklers and end-of-system solutions for pivot irrigation, believes better data can support more effective irrigation decisions.
NEW DIVISION FOCUSES ON PERFORMANCE
Komet has established an Application Engineering & Digital Systems division to generate the data, insights and engineering knowledge needed to improve irrigation performance worldwide.
Led by Global Innovation Director Gustavo Hossri, the division combines engineering, testing, diagnostics and digital innovation. Its objective is to improve understanding of what happens between the sprinkler and the crop.“ The future of agriculture will depend on better decisions,” says Andree Groos, CEO of Komet Irrigation.
“ Agriculture has become increasingly data-driven, yet irrigation remains one of the least measured variables in crop production. We believe the next generation of progress will come not only from better products, but from better information.”
EXPERIENCE HUB OPENS IN BRAZIL
As part of the investment, Komet established the Experience Hub, an advanced research, testing, training and demonstration facility that officially opened in Brazil on 26 June 2026.
