Effluent WOF
Effluent WOFs are the only way to effectively trouble-shoot effluent performance.
Assessments should be undertaken every 3-5 years depending on system age and useage.
All assessments undertaken by an Effluent WOF qualified professional, including irrigator, nutrient loading and storage adequacy checks and testing of system pressure, flow, application depth and uniformity.
Farm Planning
Farm planning is more than compliance, it provides an opportunity to understand and optimise farm inputs while maximising farm production and profitability.
We offer a range of farm planning options to suit your needs and have unrivalled understanding of the new Freshwater Farm Plan requirements.
Irrigator Performance Assessments
Irrigator performance assessments are the only way to effectively trouble-shoot irrigator performance.
Assessments should be undertaken every 3-5 years depending on system age and usage.
All assessments undertaken by an NZQA qualified professional, and include irrigator, regulator and nozzle checks, and testing of irrigator pressure, flow, application depth and uniformity.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
AJ & VL GALLAGHER LIMITED
Getting irrigation right is critical for flower growers, I’ve been using Sentek probes for over 5-years and find them really easy to understand - they take away the guesswork, The Sentek TrisSCAN sensor also allows me to monitor my fertliser use. This has saved money makes sure I give the plants exactly what they need and means no nutrient leaching.
Primary Insight have provided me with great service since taking over the management of my probes – Cindy quickly identified and resolved the telemetry issue I’d been having.
