Say hello to a new wired connection option for our Web Control GPS. Our GPS can now be operated without GSM coverage. The result? Reliable positioning and pressure data for control even in low to no network coverage areas.
Since the launch of our GPS unit, we have been optimising the power consumption of our centre pivots by up to 28%*. Our software accurately determines the position of the last tower and monitors the pressure at the end of the pivot. The pressure is then communicated to a pump equipped with a variable speed drive (VSD), which allows pumps and motors to vary speed according to the pivot’s exact need at any given moment. This leads to significant energy savings. Now, with wired GPS communication, you can experience all these benefits without the headache of poor signal or network outages.
The solution makes use of wired GPS communication to navigate and overcome poor network signal and connectivity issues. GPS and pressure data is sent via a single RS485 communication cable, which can be retrofitted to any GPS-enabled G3 centre pivot.

When comparing sprinklers, several key factors determine which performs better in the field. A good sprinkler delivers water efficiently, uniformly, and reliably, while minimising energy use and soil impact. These criteria help ensure long-term performance and optimal crop growth.
When it comes to centre pivot irrigation, few things are as important as choosing the correct sprinkler package. While a trustworthy machine structure forms the backbone of the system, it’s the sprinklers that directly impact crop performance. The right selection can boost yields and efficiency, the wrong choice can mean devastation.
Met die tema “alles vir jou besproeiing, onder een dak”, het Agrico se indrukwekkende uitstalling in Bothaville die klem geplaas op hulle wêreldklas-produkte en -dienste, met spesifieke fokus op die G4 spilpunt, presisie besproeiing, en die volledige reeks besproeiingstoebehore.
Agrico is proud to announce that we are expanding our manufacturing capacity with the installation of a new extrusion line capable of producing rigid PVC pipe up to 800 mm in diameter. This will be the largest line of its kind in Southern Africa, and is expected to begin production early in 2026.
The annual Agrico Komatipoort Golf Day, held at the Kambaku Golf Club on 16 May, once again proved that giving back can be both meaningful and fun. This year’s event brought together 60 players, numerous suppliers, and more than 200 attendees, all in support of Jumping Kids, a nonprofit organisation that empowers children with prosthetic needs through sport.
After storms hit northern farmers in late 2024, Agrico and the community quickly restored 42 center pivots, saving vital crops. This collaborative effort highlights the power of teamwork in overcoming disaster.
