Knowledge of real-time status of soil water content in a crop’s root zone enables farmers to make accurate irrigation decisions for the best yield while conserving precious water resources and reducing energy inputs. Precision irrigation systems deliver these results by monitoring on-site environmental (soil, plant, air, water) conditions, forecast future plant water needs and assist in automating irrigation operations.
Precise measurement of fruit size allows orchard operators to track growth trends for irrigation, nutrient application and harvest operations. Tracking fruit size distribution across multiple orchards with threshold set for various varieties reduce physical visits to assess field conditions and accurately assign workers to zones that are ready for harvest.
Severe frost events can damage an entire season’s crop if not managed with active prevention measures. Based on advanced sensors and weather-based analytics our advisory provides a risk score that allows farm managers to confidently allocate labor, equipment and fuel resources for maximum operational efficiency.
Tracking real-time tree or vine water use can be valuable during peak summer months to ensure soil water is available to avoid plant water stress. Our solution alerts when evapotranspiration demand, estimated from on-site sensors and weather data services, exceeds trees’ ability to find and use soil water.
Changes in crop nutrient status can be estimated by monitoring orchard canopy with in-situ sensors. Our solution utilizes optical sensors that quantify the intensity of incident and reflected solar radiation. Alerts generated based on abnormal trends or preset thresholds allow early intervention to prevent negative impact on yield or quality of produce.
Site-specific weather monitoring allows farmers to take advantage of hyperlocal precipitation and plant water use information to make precise irrigation decisions. Our rugged and accurate weather stations meet WMO (World Meteorological Organization) requirements and work independently for years. Field-tested in various geographies in the continental US our weather station hardware is sourced from reputable vendors that supply to NOAA and other world-class research and government organizations.
In addition to irrigation advisories that guide growers to control irrigation manually our systems can also be used to automatically control irrigation valves. While large irrigation systems (center pivot, drip etc.) are typically controlled via manufacturer provided applications, small farms lack that ability to remotely control valves and pumps. Our battery-powered controllers are easy to install and last for up to 10-years with minimal maintenance.

Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation is a micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface.
Sprinkler
An irrigation sprinkler is a device used to irrigate agricultural crops, lawns, landscapes, golf courses, and other areas. They are also used for cooling and for the control of airborne dust.
Furrow
Furrow is where water is applied and distributed over the soil surface by gravity. It is by far the most common form of irrigation throughout the world.
