Mimishac Irrigation Revolutionizes Zvishavane Nursery with Precision Micro-Sprayer System
Project Scope
Mimishac Irrigation designed and installed a comprehensive micro-sprayer system for Zvishavane’s high-value nursery, covering 180+ propagation beds with tailored irrigation technology. Our solution delivers gentle, rain-like hydration perfect for delicate seedlings and cuttings while optimizing water use in this arid region.
The Challenge: Precision Watering for Mass Propagation
The nursery required a system that could:
✔ Deliver uniform moisture across 180+ beds of varying plant types
✔ Operate in Zvishavane’s dry climate with minimal water waste
✔ Prevent soil disruption to protect fragile young plants
✔ Allow flexible zoning for different species’ needs
✔ Withstand heavy daily use in a commercial nursery environment
*”Our germination rates improved by 40% after switching to Mimishac’s micro-sprayers—they mimic natural rainfall perfectly.”*
