The Irrigation Association<\/a>, Fairfax, Virginia, announced the results of its 2021 Pitch Competition Dec. 9, with Simple Flow being crowned the winner of the landscape category.<\/p>\n

Nine startup irrigation technology companies went head-to-head in the competition\u2019s agriculture and landscape categories Dec. 8 during the IA\u2019s 2021 Irrigation Show and Education Week in San Diego. Each company presented their products on the Irrigation Show floor. A panel of judges evaluated the quality of their presentation, the product, market need and economic feasibility.<\/p>\n

The landscape category winner, the Aqua Line Series by Simple Flow<\/a>, includes a programmable actuator that mounts to any existing standard \u00bc-turn ball valve. It\u2019s securely controlled by a company-specific remote, which provides irrigation contractors control of main water shutoff without needing to enter a home or business.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In Deep Irrigation and its Root Quencher deep watering device that is able to sustainably meet a plant’s needs<\/p>\n
