Orbia Netafim (MXCHY) hat Mega-PULSAR™ auf den Markt gebracht, ein innovatives, vollflächiges pulsierendes Sprinklersystem, das entwickelt wurde, um wertvolle subtropische Obstplantagen vor extremen Hitzewellen zu schützen. Das System schafft ein lokalisiertes Mikroklima durch gleichmäßige Pulse von wasserarmen Mengen, wodurch die Temperatur effektiv gesenkt und die Luftfeuchtigkeit erhöht wird.
Die Technologie zeichnet sich durch große Installationsabstände, hohe Gleichmäßigkeit und minimalen Wasserverbrauch aus und bietet anpassbare Durchflussraten sowie Abstands-Konfigurationen. Das modulare Design reduziert die Installationsanzahl pro Hektar und senkt die Wartungskosten. Die ersten Installationen begannen im Frühjahr 2025 und zeigten deutliche Verbesserungen bei der Feuchtigkeitsregelung und Temperaturabsenkung in den Plantagen.
Dieser Start baut auf Orbias Erfolg auf, das im Jahr 2024 7,5 Milliarden US-Dollar Umsatz erzielte und in fünf Geschäftsfeldern mit über 23.000 Mitarbeitern weltweit tätig ist.

New full-coverage sprinkler system complements Orbia Netafim's extreme weather mitigation solutions to offer year-round crop defense from weather-related risks
As heatwaves intensify and become more frequent, especially during fruit set stage and pre-harvest periods when fruit yield and quality are most vulnerable, crops require innovative solutions to retain moisture and supplement traditional irrigation methods. Mega-PULSAR™ distributes uniform pulses of low-volume water throughout the orchard canopy, forming a localized microclimate that reduces temperature and elevates humidity to shield crops from heat stress.
Mega-PULSAR™'s combination of wide spacing installation, high uniformity, and minimal water usage makes it unique in the industry. The system supports a range of flow rates and spacing configurations, to enable growers to customize deployments to match an orchard's specific size and topography. Its modular design simplifies installation, reduces the number of units needed per hectare, and lowers ongoing maintenance and labor costs for upkeep and installation. These advantages make Mega-PULSAR™ a compelling solution for high-value produce growers seeking to both reduce overhead costs and future-proof their operations against climate variability.
Building on Orbia Netafim's array of sustainable agricultural solutions, Mega-PULSAR™ extends that innovation to deliver full-area protection from extreme heat events with high water-use efficiency. At the heart of this innovation is the company's proprietary pulsation mechanism that distributes water in a "light rain" pattern. This mimics natural rainfall, allowing for both direct cooling, where droplets lower the temperature of tree surfaces, and evaporative cooling, where the surrounding air temperature is decreased as water evaporates. The result is a more resilient orchard environment that safeguards both fruit yield and quality.
"Today's growers are facing a new level of agricultural risk driven by extreme weather events, especially more frequent heatwaves, and most are not prepared," said Orit Katzir, Global Product Manager at Orbia Precision Agriculture (Netafim). "We developed Mega-PULSAR™ in direct response to the evolving needs of our growers, offering a scalable and efficient way to protect orchards from every angle and at every phase of orchard growth. This innovation follows our ongoing mission over the past 60 years to help farmers grow more with less, even in the face of unprecedented challenges."
Initial installations of Mega-PULSAR™ began in Spring 2025, with early results pointing to significant improvements in increasing relative humidity and lowering temperature across orchards, validating its promise as a transformative tool for orchard heat mitigation.
