How MultiFIX helps farmers save water, energy and money
Central Valley pistachio grower sees water and power use plummet after applying MultiFIX
Farmers are constantly searching for ways to lower water and electricity use without sacrificing crop quality. MultiFIX offers a game-changing solution. Jose, a pistachio grower in California, has seen remarkable results using MultiFIX in his 40-acre orchard, and his success story shows just how effective this product can be.
Jose’s story: real savings, real results
Jose applied MultiFIX in June 2024, He soon observed measurable improvements in his farming operations:
Saved more than 64 acre-feet of water
By boosting soil health and improving water retention, MultiFIX allowed Jose to cut his irrigation hours by 33%, significantly reducing water usage in his orchard.
- Cut electricity costs by $2,000 a month
Shorter irrigation hours also meant substantial savings on electricity. MultiFIX improved water efficiency to such an extent that Jose slashed his monthly electricity bill by a stunning $2,000. - Reduced irrigation costs by $1,200 a month
Beyond electricity, the improved water efficiency resulted in reduced overall irrigation expenses, helping Jose save $1,200 monthly. Healthier trees and larger pistachios
Thanks to enhanced soil microbiology, Jose’s trees showed improved vigor, yielding larger, higher-quality nuts that impressed both his PCA and his processor representative.Lower pesticide use
Stronger, healthier trees meant Jose could reduce his pesticide applications without compromising crop health or pest control.
Impressive water savings and cost efficiency
The cost of MultiFIX is typically $80 per gallon, but with canal water priced at $100 per acre-foot for this orchard and rising, Jose’s savings are substantial. Simply by reducing his irrigation time, Jose quickly saw a return on his investment.
“I’m saving an average of 4.6 acre-feet of water per week on the 40-acre block,” Jose shared.
Before applying MultiFIX, Jose irrigated the 40-acre block on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, using a total of 72 hours per week. Now, he runs the pumps only on Saturday and Sunday, for a total of 48 hours per week. This change in irrigation schedule not only saves water but also reduces energy consumption.

Why MultiFIX works
MultiFIX is a powerful soil enhancement solution that works by feeding the native microbial population already present in the soil. These microbes:
- Enhance soil structure for better water retention
- Make nutrients more available to plants
- Promote root health and overall tree vigor
Unlike products that add foreign microbes, MultiFIX strengthens the natural ecosystem in your soil, leading to long-lasting benefits.
