Precision That Protects Your Orchard

Lumo Helps You Water by Data, Not by Guesswork

With Lumo, growers can irrigate by target volume rather than runtime. That means you tell the system exactly how many gallons or inches per acre to apply, and it measures and stops automatically when that volume is reached.

Core capabilities include:

  • Real-time flow monitoring: Know exactly how much water is moving through each valve.

  • Automatic shutoffs: Prevent overwatering caused by stuck valves or leaks.

  • Leak detection: Get instant alerts when a line breaks or pressure drops.

  • Data logging: Track every irrigation event for compliance and insight.

No more wondering whether you’ve applied too much — Lumo makes precise water delivery simple.

DIG DEEPER

What problems does overwatering cause in orchards?

Overwatering leads to waterlogged soils that suffocate roots and promote disease. Nutrients leach below the root zone, trees grow weak, and yields suffer. Chronic over-irrigation has been shown to reduce productivity and shorten orchard lifespan (almonds.com).

How does Lumo ensure we only water as much as needed?

Lumo lets you irrigate by target volume — not by time. You set the number of gallons or inches per acre to apply, and the smart valve measures flow, shutting off when that exact volume is delivered. With optional soil data or simple calibration, you can fine-tune for perfect water balance and get alerts if irrigations run long.

Can this help comply with water restrictions (like SGMA or local quotas)?

Absolutely. Every irrigation event is logged automatically, giving you detailed records of water applied per orchard block. If you manage a groundwater allocation or local quota, you can assign block-level budgets and track your usage in real time — helping you stay compliant and efficient.

What if I already use drip irrigation – am I still at risk of overwatering?

Yes — even with drip systems, static timers often cause excess irrigation. Lumo upgrades your system to be adaptive and data-driven. You can adjust for rain events, changing evapotranspiration, or soil conditions — typically reducing water use by 20–30% while maintaining or improving yield.

From the Grower’s Mouth

Hannah Lindner Wente Vineyards
“With the Lumo valves, we have this micro control that we didn't have in the past. We know that what we are scheduling is getting executed, we know the timing is right, and we have confidence we’ll get the quality that we want from the vineyard.”
Gustavo Aviña Pine Ridge Vineyards
“I chose Lumo because the installation and the valve operation are very easy. We’re now able to do more precise irrigations, giving water to the vines when they need it, and only what they need. After we started automating irrigation, we produced the best fruit I’ve ever seen.”
Ryan Decker Clos du Val
“The product is plug and play without any wires to run or radios to set up. A flow meter is incorporated into each valve that is capable of delivering irrigation sets by a volume, instead of a duration. I’ll be able to log all irrigations, by volume, for any water use reporting requirements that either exist now or will in the future. I think that more than any other company I've worked with, Lumo has listened to what we've had to say in the industry.”
Tyler Klick Redwood Empire Vineyard Management
“The software platform is extremely easy to use and functions very well. When we have had issues, Lumo’s been out there before we even got there. The valves have been reliable and have really helped us fine tune our operation as it pertains to irrigation. Lumo is the first automated irrigation solution that I have confidence I can go to my clients and say, ‘If you want automation, this is something we can use.’”
