Onions
Automated Irrigation That Grows Bigger, Healthier Onions With Less Stress and Waste
Keep shallow‑rooted onions at the right moisture, hit the best watering windows for bulb size and curing, and prevent waterlogging, salt buildup, and disease across every part of your field.
Cut Water Waste, Grow Bigger Bulbs and Reduce Disease With Irrigation Automation
Smarter, Simpler Irrigation
Tech should make things easier, not harder. Verdi works with your existing setup, installs in minutes, and automates only where it makes a difference.
Every Drop Counts
Water access is unpredictable — and every decision matters more than ever. Verdi gives you real-time field data and control, so you can make confident, cost-effective choices.
Do More with Less
Managing irrigation by hand is draining — and labor's not getting easier. Verdi, automates what use used to take hours, confirms it’s done, and frees up your time
How Automated Irrigation Helps Onion Growers Fix Shallow Roots, Tricky Water Timing, and Soil Problems
Roots stay in the top 6 to 8 inches with no lateral spread. Onions depend on consistent shallow moisture from emergence through bulbing — any gap causes stress they can't recover from.
Stress at the 2-leaf through 8-leaf stages directly creates multi-center, misshapen bulbs. There's no early warning. Just a rejection rate at the packing shed.
Over-irrigation in late season promotes soft rot and poor curing. Under-irrigation in late season causes premature maturity and thin skins. That damage is permanent. No amount of late-season water corrects it.
Onions before and after irrigation automation
Bottom Line:
Onion irrigation has to be managed by stage, not by feel. Automated scheduling that tracks growth stage and soil moisture eliminates the stress events that create multi-center and split bulbs, preventing rejection losses that don't show up until you're at the packing line.
You don't need a PhD to manage data or a full crew to do the work.
Verdi connects directly to your valves, sensors and pumps to give you remote control, automated scheduling and real-time feedback. It works with the equipment you already have and installs in hours, not weeks.
Most growers see a return on investment in under 6 months. You’ll see it in your water bill, labor costs and peace of mind.

"The experience working with everyone at Verdi has been fantastic. Just the level of care with adopting the system to our needs has been fantastic.

Scott Woody

Stephanie Adamson
Data and Irrigation Technician, Quails' Gate Estate Winery
"Verdi is everything we need in one system for irrigation. Automated irrigation control, environmental sensor data and irrigation verification. We are able to schedule our irrigations according to the moisture content in the soil and if we have a line break or an inaccurate irrigation we receive an alert."
Mike Watson
Senior Viticulturist, Arterra Wines Canada
"Before Verdi I would spend up to four hours a day turning on valves, turning on pumps, ensuring everything was working on our 50 acre vineyard. Now I can remotely plan and execute my irrigations within 15 or 20 minutes which has really freed me up to do bigger and better things on our site."
Matthew Fortuna
Vineyard Manager & Winemaker, 50th Parallel Estate Winery
"Verdi has greatly improved my efficiency and confidence by allowing remote monitoring of pressure, flow, and valve operation, ensuring everything runs smoothly and sending me an alert when there is an issue."

"We were able to achieve uniform vigor and high quality throughout our premium Malbec vineyard block by reducing both under-irrigation and over-irrigation with Verdi’s precision variable rate irrigation platform.
