Close the Irrigation Execution Gap

Lumo gives you the visibility and control to deliver water with precision—no guesswork, no manual errors. With built-in flow meters and real-time data, you’ll know exactly how much water each block is receiving and be able to make immediate adjustments. Catch clogged emitters, overwatering, or underperforming zones before they become problems. Schedule irrigations by volume, automate around peak electricity rates, and monitor your system from anywhere—day or night. By replacing assumptions with verified performance, you can finally irrigate to plan with confidence and accuracy. That’s how you close the gap.

Benefits of Precision Apple Irrigation

Boost Apple Quality & Yield

Consistent water delivery helps prevent fruit drop and improves apple size and uniformity. With Lumo, growers have reported 5–20% increases in yield and improved fruit quality.

Save Labor and Water

Eliminate time spent walking rows or turning valves by hand. Lumo customers save up to 90% of irrigation-related labor and reduce pumping costs by 15–30% by irrigating at night and catching issues early.

Protect Trees from Overwatering or Drought Stress

Avoid common problems like root disease and nutrient leaching by ensuring every tree gets exactly what it needs, no more and no less.

Stay in Control, Even When You're Off the Ranch

Whether you're managing one block or multiple orchards, Lumo makes it easy to adjust schedules, monitor water use, and respond to weather events—all from your phone.
