Last month, we showed how [ETo forecasting](https://www.waybeyond.io/resources?hsLang=en) helped tomato growers improve irrigation planning. This new study builds on that work, testing proactive irrigation strategies in berry greenhouses where water is both scarce and costly. ### The Challenge Water is scarce and expensive in Morocco. After six consecutive years of severe drought, dam levels nationwide are critically low. Reuters reported that rainfall was 53% lower this year compared with the 30-year average, and by early 2025 reservoir filling rates had dropped to just 26%, with key agricultural regions like Souss-Massa at only 15% capacity. As a result, growers are increasingly reliant on desalinated water, which costs around \$0.56 per cubic meter — more than five times the price of conventional supply. To cope, Morocco is [accelerating investments](https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/morocco-invests-desalination-waterways-mitigate-drought-2025-06-13/) in desalination plants, water transfer projects and new dams to meet rising demand from agriculture and cities. ### The Goal This research with a leading Moroccan berry grower aimed to: * Improve precision of irrigation for berries grown on substrate * Develop a proactive irrigation strategy that adjusts based on predicted climate parameters * Track impacts on plant growth, fruit quality and yield * Compare water and nutrient efficiency with standard practices ### The Method Two greenhouses were monitored over five weeks: * Greenhouse 10 (FarmRoad strategy): Irrigation events were informed by FarmRoad’s climate and root zone sensors, along with ETo, VPD and radiation forecasts. Drip and drain data was collected daily via the FarmRoad app. * Greenhouse 11 (Traditional strategy): The grower’s usual approach was maintained for comparison. Measurements included water and fertilizer consumption, EC, fruit size, firmness, pH, brix, acidity, dry matter and water content. ### The Results * **Water savings:** 15.8% average reduction (the range of savings was 8.6% to 27.3%) * **Cost impact:** US $225/ha saved in 5 weeks — equivalent to $2,167 per hectare annually (based on an 11-month cycle) * **Fruit quality:** Maintained across the trial with slight improvement in fruit firmness * **Nutrient solution:** More stable EC and drainage, reducing risk of salt build-up and supporting long-term root health #### Grower Tip 💡 Consider integrating climate forecasts like ETo, VPD and radiation into your irrigation scheduling. Even small shifts from reactive to proactive management can deliver measurable savings. ### Why It Matters For growers using irrigation systems to manage fertigation, water efficiency is a direct path to lowering input costs. Even small percentage gains compound into thousands of dollars saved per hectare. Importantly, this can be achieved without compromising fruit quality or yield. ### WayBeyond Recommendations This trial extends earlier research with a Mexican tomato grower, where FarmRoad-based irrigation strategies [achieved a 14–16% water saving](https://www.waybeyond.io/resources/optimized-irrigation?hsLang=en). Despite different crops, climates and research timeframes, the outcome in Morocco was remarkably similar: consistent reductions in water and fertilizer use while maintaining crop quality. The evidence is clear: with FarmRoad, growers can make proactive, data-driven irrigation decisions that cut costs and safeguard long-term crop health. **Read more about how FarmRoad can help you with smart irrigation [here](https://www.waybeyond.io/fr/solutions/optimize-irrigation?hsLang=en).**  ***Acknowledgment*** *This research was authored by Anas El Majdoub, a Student at the National School of Agriculture of Meknes.
