Field Irrigation Systems are essential in agriculture since they help provide water to plants where rain may be erratic or unavailable. ...
This reduces waste, optimizes nutrient uptake, and promotes stronger, healthier crops. Salinity Management: In drought-prone regions or areas with saline irrigation water, managing salt buildup is crucial. ...
This article explores the multifaceted role of advanced irrigation controllers in modern agriculture and their impact on optimizing crop production. The Evolution of Irrigation Systems Irrigation has been a cornerstone of agriculture for millennia, enabling farmers to supplement natural rainfall and sustain crop ...
They can be utilized to compact and wrap straw, hay, and various other crops. Tillers: Four Series shafts for PTO are commonly utilized to power tillers as well as various soil-preparation equipment that is employed to cultivate the soil and prepare fields for planting. ...
Some of the most common applications for evaporation sensors include: Agriculture: Evaporation sensors are used in agriculture to monitor evaporation rates in crops, soils and irrigation systems. By measuring evaporation rates, farmers can determine the optimal amount of water to use for irrigation, which helps conserve water and increase ...
A greenhouse organic tomato and cucumber grower saved his crop during extreme drought with Sensoterra sensors, and improved yield with soil moisture data. With extreme droughts occuring more frequently, Danny Monté, Forecast and Quality Administration and Quality Control Manager at AC Hartman BV, relies on Sensoterra soil moisture sensors to support ...
Up your defenses against unpredictable Mother Nature with an on-farm weather station’s accurate weather monitoring, forecasting and historical data There’s a long-enduring sentiment in Canadian agriculture that when farmers gather, they’re usually talking about the weather. There’s a good reason for this. After all, there are many things you can control on the farm from ...
The reports are generated with the help of satellite images which helps to determine the crop health and weather conditions of the farm. The crop health can easily be estimated through image colors: Light/dark Green: healthy crops. ...
According to a new study recently published in Environmental Research Letters, sustainable irrigation could alleviate these risks, increasing supply to provide food for more than a billion additional people using our current farmland without having to convert natural ecosystems into agricultural land. ...
All of these aspects affect the development and growth of food crops; however, they affect it in different ways. The length of the day, or the photoperiod, is important since the ratio of light to darkness controls processes like forming of growth and flowering in many plants. ...

It seems likely that with many crops irrigated by SDI, plantings will have to be carefully synchronized to rainfall patterns or sprinkler systems used to get good stands. Getting good stands can also be a chronic problem with flood irrigated alfalfa fields. As the irrigation demand developed in the spring of 1999 the SDI system ...
This allows for unseasonably hot weather, or make-up capacity if you get behind in meeting your crops' irrigation needs. Water use requirements of subsurface drip may not differ significantly from conventional uses. ...
Crop steering - an introduction. Crop steering is a fairly new term that’s increased in popularity recently, but some growers have been using crop steering techniques for many years. ...
After planting, a drone-driven soil analysis can then provide data for irrigation management. However, drones are not only useful after planting; they can also help create valuable deliverables like variable-rate prescriptions, making them instrumental throughout the entire crop cycle. ...
