Secret behind Imam Mulani’s  getting ₹1 Extra per bunch from the market for his coriander

Successful farming involves much more than simply Irrigate the crop. Water management, soil health, crop growth, produce quality, and the final market price all play an important role. In coriander cultivation, uniform irrigation can support consistent germination and crop growth while also making harvesting easier. For farmers selling fresh coriander, clean and attractive produce is equally important because its appearance can influence the price received in the market.

A coriander farmer Imam Mulani from Maharashtra, India used Driptech’s Laser Spray-Marathon 40 mm for coriander cultivation across 5 acres. His experience with Laser Spray showed how uniform, rain-like irrigation helped him achieve excellent germination, uniform crop growth, loose soil, easier harvesting, cleaner roots, and fetched him an additional ₹1 per bunch from the market.

Better Coriander Quality with Laser Spray (Rain Pipe / Rain Hose)

The farmer observed significant benefits from using Laser Spray, particularly in terms of germination, crop uniformity and maintenance of soil health leading to easy harvest etc.

According to the farmer, the germination of his coriander crop was outstanding after using Laser Spray (Rain Pipe / Rain Hose). He did not experience any germination problems anywhere in the field. The reason, according to him, was the uniform distribution of water. Laser Spray distributes water in very fine droplets that fall like natural rain, helping provide moisture uniformly across the field.

The farmer also observed that the entire crop had grown with good uniformity. The uniform irrigation provided by Laser Spray helped maintain consistent crop growth throughout the field.

Another important benefit he experienced was related to the soil condition and harvesting. The fine water droplets and uniform irrigation helped keep the soil loose and friable. Owing to this, harvesting the coriander became easier, and the roots came out clean with less soil sticking to them. This cleaner produce helped the farmer receive at least ₹1 extra per bunch in the market.

The farmer is satisfied with the results of Laser Spray and considers it an excellent irrigation option for coriander cultivation.

What is Laser Spray Irrigation?

Laser Spray irrigation, commonly known as Rain Pipe / Rain Hose, is a modern irrigation system manufactured from high-quality polyethylene pipes with precisely laser-punched micro-holes. These micro-holes generate a fine, uniform spray pattern that closely mimics natural rainfall, ensuring even water distribution across the lawn surface.

How Does Laser Spray (Rain Pipe / Rain Hose) Help in Coriander Cultivation?

Laser Spray is made with the revolutionary new ‘Laser-Punched Drip’ technology. Owing to its superior design it distributes water uniformly; the entire field receives moisture evenly. It also keeps the soil porous. These helps create favorable conditions for seed germination and supports uniform crop growth.

The farmer experienced that the soil remained loose and friable with Laser Spray. This made harvesting (uprooting) the coriander easier, and the roots came out with less soil sticking to them. Since less soil was sticking to the roots, the coriander bunches were cleaner.

For a crop like coriander, which is sold as fresh produce, cleanliness and appearance are important factors in the market. According to Imam Mulani, the cleaner roots helped him receive at least ₹1 extra per bunch.

Thus, the benefit of Laser Spray was not limited to irrigation alone. The farmer experienced a chain of benefits—from uniform water distribution and better germination to loose soil, easier harvesting, cleaner roots, and better market realization.

Other advantages of Laser Spray (Rain Pipe/ Rain Hose)

The advantages of Laser Spray (Rain Pipe / Rain Hose) are not limited to delivering uniform irrigation and keeping the soil porous, leading to better germination and easier harvesting as narrated by the farmer.

It has multiple other agronomic benefits:

• Supports Photosynthesis: Clean, healthy leaves are key to efficient photosynthesis. By preventing dust buildup on leaves, the Laser Spray (Rain Pipe) helps plants absorb sunlight more effectively.
• Washes Away Insects: Its rain-like watering of the plant can help wash away some insects, potentially reducing the need for crop protection sprays.
• Cooling the Crop: It cools the crop canopy as well as the soil and can help protect plants from heat stress, particularly during hot weather.

Conclusion

This coriander farmer has experienced what many farmers are looking for—better germination, uniform crop growth, healthy soil condition, easier harvesting, cleaner roots, and better market realization.

After using Driptech Laser Spray on 5 acres of coriander, Imam Mulani experienced excellent germination and uniform crop growth. He also found that the soil remained loose and friable, making coriander harvesting easier and helping the roots come out cleaner.

Most importantly, because there was less soil sticking to the roots, the farmer reported receiving at least ₹1 extra per bunch in the market.

The farmer's recommendation is simple: Laser Spray can help farmers achieve uniform irrigation, better crop quality, easier harvesting, and potentially better market realization.
