💧GeraFarm equipment
Irrigation
Irrigation equipment delivers water from a source (borehole, river, reservoir, mains) to the crop at the right flow and pressure. On GeraFarm, the category covers drip-irrigation kits (row crops and orchards), sprinkler systems (cereals, forage, lawns), centre-pivot and linear-move systems (large arable), lay-flat and rigid pipe, pumps (solar, electric, diesel), filters, and fertigation injectors. Smart irrigation controllers (soil-moisture-triggered, weather-aware) are also listed where supported locally.
