Background
An investment corporation had acquired 150 hectares of land to develop an apple orchard. The sandy soil site was previously used to grow wheat and corn.

The client has been impressed with the results of the irrigation solution which has ensured a high rate of survival for the young apple trees. The company plans to continue to expand the orchard in the future.
