Why Consistent Water Is Critical for Musang King
Musang King (D197) commands about RM60–80/kg at farm gate (market estimate) — but only when fruit quality is consistent. Irregular irrigation during flowering and fruit set directly impacts flesh quality, sugar content, and the premium grade percentage of your harvest.
Flowering Stage
Water stress during flower induction causes uneven bloom and poor fruit set. Precise irrigation on a 12-hour cycle maximises fruit set per tree.
Fruit Development
From pin-head to harvest (90–100 days), consistent fertigation determines flesh thickness, creamy texture, and bitterness balance that defines Grade A Musang King.
Revenue Impact
Grade A fruit sells at about RM70/kg against about RM40/kg for Grade B (market estimate), so quality matters as much as yield. Consistent watering matters for fruit quality.
How the Solar Fertigation System Works
Solar Array
1.5–5kWp of solar panels mounted on ground frames or existing structures generate DC electricity during daylight hours.
MPPT Controller
The Maximum Power Point Tracker converts panel output to variable-frequency drive power for the pump motor, optimising efficiency at all light levels.
Solar Pump
A submersible or surface pump (1–5HP) draws water from bore, river, or pond into a header tank or directly into the fertigation lines.
Fertiliser Injector
A venturi or dosatron injector mixes liquid fertiliser at a preset ratio into the water stream automatically during each irrigation cycle.
Drip Lines
Pressure-compensating drip emitters deliver water and nutrients directly to the root zone of each tree — zero runoff, zero waste.
System Features
- Fully automated — no daily operator needed
- Programmable timers for up to 8 irrigation zones
- Optional GSM alert for pump fault or dry-run
- Float switch protection prevents dry-run damage
- Compatible with all liquid fertiliser formulations
- Expandable — add zones as farm grows
- Works with existing drip line infrastructure

Sizing Guide by Farm Size
Durian tree density, drip emitter flow rate, and fertigation frequency determine system size. These are indicative market estimates (pump brands not stocked by Trexon) — every system is quoted per site.

Fruit quality depends on many factors, and consistent irrigation is one of them. Trexon does not promise yield or grade improvements; the business case is based on your diesel savings.
