The Irrigation Association (IA) celebrated the innovative products and technologies that are shaping the future of water management in announcing the winners of the 2024 New Product Contest.
This annual competition showcases the newest premier products in the irrigation industry, underscoring the commitment of industry leaders to sustainable water use and improved irrigation efficiency.
Twenty-two new products and technologies were entered in three categories: agriculture irrigation, landscape irrigation and landscape lighting.
With 12 entrants in the landscape irrigation category, awards were given in two tiers according to the company’s annual revenue.
In the category of companies with annual revenue less than $20 million, the winner is the Moasure 2 PRO by Moasure. The pocket-sized Moasure 2 PRO is the second generation of the motion-based measuring device and utilizes high-performing sensors to capture x, y and z data as it moves, simultaneously measuring and drawing complex and irregular job sites and automatically calculating perimeter, area, elevation and volume.
Among companies with annual revenue equal to or greater than $20 million, the winner is the MP Rotator MP-820 by Hunter Industries Inc. The MP-820, part of the MP Rotator Nozzle series, uses multiple rotating streams to apply water slowly and consistently across arc and radius patterns, expanding application rates across multiple pressures, maximizing flow potential while maintaining uniform coverage at half the precipitation rate of traditional spray nozzles.
