“This dripper is effective in any type of cultivation and has smart system that supplies water to the plant without the need for electricity, batteries and manual adjustment and it closes and opens the water according to the plant's needs, weather conditions, rainfall, soil moisture and the type of plant,” Hossein Mozafari told ANA reporter on the sidelines of the Islamic Azad University’s Asreh Omid Event held in Tehran in Late May about the product "Prime irrigation dripper" which he presented in the exhibition.

"Prime dripper takes into account the amount of irrigation needed by the plant and irrigates it, whether in any type of cultivation (cultivation in the greenhouse, outdoor, plant in a pot, etc.)” Mozafari added.

He also said he produced the dripper at Islamic Azad University, Bushehr branch, adding that the prototype of this product has been produced and the final test has also been conducted.

Fortunately, it has been effective in dealing with the plant, he added.

“We distributed some of the products among 70 farmers in Bushehr province, and 69% of these farmers applied to use the dripper and some farmers also said that they need more time to see the product performs in the future,” the researcher further said.

He said that the Prime Dripper can be put under the soil and next to the plant's roots, and it automatically controls the water flow according to the plant's needs, and as a result, weeds do not grow. Therefore, less poisons are used, which will reduce the use of manpower and cost in turn.

The national Asreh Omid Event was held in late May in Tehran’s Grand Mosalla with the participation of 3,000 knowledge-based companies, laboratories, research teams and startups.
