Achieve stable crop yields regardless of the weather with agricultural irrigation hoses & sprinkler hoses as part of irrigation technology.
An adequate supply of water is crucial to ensure stable crop yields.
Greenhouse crops are, by their nature, dependent on irrigation. For outdoor crops, less frequent precipitation and increasing heavy rainfall events are both having a negative effect on the main vegetation period.
With increasing global warming, the risk of losing the year’s harvest due to frost grows: woody plants sprout early and the period during which frost can cause harm therefore becomes longer.
Although all systems serve the same purpose - targeted irrigation or sprinkling - the respective water supply hose as the "main artery" must be able to withstand different stresses such as ozone / UV radiation, chemicals, acids, fertilizers or simply the soil conditions.
For irrigation management to work, the farmer must be able to rely on his system and the warer supply hoses during this time. If there were a pressure drop in the hose line due to a damaged hose, the technology would shut down and valuable time would be lost during which crops could suffer irreparable damage.
Gollmer & Hummel develops agricultural hoses for sprinkling, irrigation and slurry hosing in such a way that each hose has maximum load-bearing capacity, tensile strength and abrasion resistance.
Whatever technology you use is your choice - feeder hoses from Gollmer & Hummel for sprinkler machines and irrigation systems are always the first choice!
The costs for sprinkling or irrigation in agriculture consist of fixed and variable costs. The fixed costs arise from the purchase of the irrigation technology (pump, sprinkler system, water hoses). Irrigation systems are supplied with water by water hoses specially designed for water supply. In the case of agricultural irrigation hoses, it is worth investing in good quality because they are very reliable, extremely robust and can be easily rolled up.
Water consumption and energy costs for the operation of the pump form the variable costs. If, for example, irrigation is carried out with mobile irrigation machines and heavy sprinklers (cannon), high water pressures are required at the inlet of the irrigation machine. The generation of this high water pressure is very energy-intensive and thus more expensive in operation.
In the case of the circular sprinkler system, the energy requirement is very low - thus it is considered particularly cost-effective in specialist circles.
In sprinkler irrigation - just like natural precipitation - water is conveyed over the plant via spray heads and falls from there like rain in droplets onto the crop. Sprinkler irrigation is artificial irrigation from above.

Not every system is suitable for every irrigation task - us every system differs in water loss or even and accurate irrigation. The goal of the technology is to get the water to the plant in the exact amount it needs, with as little effort and loss as possible, so that it does not suffer from drought stress. Modern agricultural hoses adapted to the requirements in irrigation also contribute to reliable irrigation.

The required water is usually taken from a natural source such as a watercourse, river, lake or groundwater (well) and fed to the irrigation machine under pressure via the supply hose.
You already have an irrigation system or want to invest in technology and are looking for water hoses to supply water? Here are tips on what to look for when choosing so that you can rely on irrigation.
Annoying, but it can happen: a hose defect. Usually near the coupling, as this area is particularly stressed. Gollmer & Hummel irrigation hoses are stable in diameter, which means that re-banding can be done directly on the spot with a few simple steps.
In addition to couplings from the STORZ system with a wire strap, couplings with a clamping ring, cardan joint or lever lock are also available to connect lengths of hose together and to connect them to irrigation machines.
Agricultural operations usually irrigate late in the evening and at night into the early morning hours. For this purpose, large quantities of water are pumped under high pressure through the hoses to the irrigation system for sprinkling fields and plantations.
Plants and soils can absorb water best during this time window and are resupplied during the day - the soil's water supply can be replenished. In addition, during the day - especially in hot, dry weather - evaporation would be too great and irrigation would not be efficient.
In addition to agriculture, sprinkler hoses are also a popular tool in the construction industry to minimize dust formation during demolition work. Forestry operations use sprinkler irrigation in lumber yards to preserve harvested timber.
