This, in turn, increases the energy costs associated with the agriculture sector, some of the highest ones in the European Union.
Juan Antonio Rodríguez Díaz and Jorge García Morillo, scientists from the Hydraulics and Irrigation Group of the María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence, at the Department of Agronomy of the University of Cordoba (DAUCO), aimed to increase the energy efficiency of irrigation.
Low-cost technology reduces the cost and carbon footprint of pressurized irrigation
