Howseman, who was recognized
for his work as the 2018 recipient of
the British Farming Awards' Gold
Winner for Contractor Innovator
honor, said much has changed in the
past two years.
" Drip irrigation has been underutilized
by growers for several reasons as it
is perceived as expensive, is more
labor intensive at planting and more
maintenance is required, " he said. " We
have addressed all of these factors and
through careful application of laborsaving
techniques and development of
specific equipment we have been able to
make the installation and commissioning
of drip irrigation systems more userfriendly.
We now have a system, which is
comparative to conventional irrigation
in terms of costs. "
Howseman said that cost is about one
quarter of what it was two years ago.

slow in drip irrigation systems this is
now changing and the cost is reducing, "
he said. " Systems that were circa £40k
(roughly $45,500) two years ago are
available for around £10K ($11,400) now.
This will help to speed up adoption of
these systems. "
Howseman feels the company's drip
tape approach will take the next step
in popularity among farmers because
of its targeted application, which
makes it ideal for nutrition and pestsuppression
application.
