Feature

Soil Water Status

Plant available soil water is estimated with the use of advanced electronic sensors that are installed in open fields, grow tunnels or climate-controlled greenhouses. A robust wireless system transfers soil water data to our cloud-based applications that interpret and advise users on current status and future plant water requirements.

Volumetric Water Content

Soil Water tension or Soil Matric Potential

Weight-based

Feature

Plant Water Status

Plant water status can be measured with our sensors and their response to water stress is detected with our algorithms and generate alerts for manual or automatic remedial action.

Canopy Temperature

Size Variations

Sap Flow rate

Stem Water Potential

Feature

On-Site Weather

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.

Feature

Irrigation Advisory

Easy-to-interpret irrigation advisory based on real-time soil, crop and weather conditions. By knowing when and how much to irrigate for optimal crop growth, a grower can save 30-60% of water and input costs. In addition to in-situ sensors, we also utilize advanced weather forecast services to provide accurate, site-specific future plant water use estimates, which is valuable for large farms where various zones are irrigated on different days. Data sources used for Irrigation Advisory:

In soil & weather sensors

Precipitation History

Weather Forecast

Crop Growth Stage

Site Specific evapotranspiration

Feature

Automatic Irrigation Control

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.

Supported Irrigation Modes

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.

Center Pivot

Center pivot irrigation is an overhead sprinkler irrigation consisting of several segments of pipe with sprinklers along their length, joined together and supported by trusses, and mounted on wheeled towers.

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.
