One of India’s leading crop protection companies has harnessed the power of remote sensing technology to enhance its interactions with farmers. By offering valuable insights into crop management, covering aspects such as nutrition, irrigation, and pest and disease control. The company has improved the efficacy of crop protection strategies and strengthened its relationships with the farming ...
Zimmatic Controllers – The Only Control Panel Compatible with Fieldnet Control panels have always been used on pivot sprinklers. New smart control panels, however, are revolutionizing pivot irrigation. These devices reduce water consumption and lead to savings in time and labour. Zimmatic control panels have everything for the grower who is ready to take complete control of their ...
Introduction: Soil health plays a crucial role in agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. Monitoring soil health is essential for farmers to make informed decisions about crop management practices, fertilizer application, and irrigation strategies. ...

Traditionally, irrigation scheduling has relied on estimates and fixed schedules, often leading to overwatering or underwatering, resulting in wasted water, nutrient leaching, and reduced crop yields. ...
A typical field pivot irrigation system, with one pivot covering 120 acres Currently, grower faced difficulties in determining the best harvest time Pilot consisted of 36 Sensoterra probes, placed across 8 locations ...
Black Gold Farms is a multi-generation, family owned farming organization that began in North Dakota’s Red River Valley more than 80 years ago. It evolved into a global potato production, sales and service company and industry leader. In combination with its own farms and a network of contracted growers across the USA, Black Gold has 20,000 acres in production and is the nation’s ...
Over the past ten years, environmental monitoring has become increasingly important. Environmental factors such as climate change, dwindling water resources, and threatened habitats are driving the need to monitor the environment and implement better policies to protect it. Many natural processes in the environment are driven by or in some ways related soil hydrological processes. Monitoring soil ...
Estimating water requirements of plants cultivated in greenhouse environments is crucial, both for the design of greenhouse irrigation systems and the improvement of irrigation scheduling. Spinach is one of the main vegetables sold as ‘ready-to-eat’ bagged produce; it is very sensitive to water stress and thus requires accurate irrigation. In this work, a water balance model simulating the ...
The highest consumption of water is devoted to irrigation for agricultural production, and so it is in this area that efforts have to be focused to study possible interventions. Meeting and optimizing the consumption of water for irrigation also means making more resources available for drinking water and industrial use, and maintaining an ...
This study was carried out to evaluate the use of the crop water stress index (CWSI) for irrigation scheduling of sugar beet for two years under the semi arid climate of Iran. Statistical relationships between CWSI and yield, quality parameters and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) were investigated. Irrigations were scheduled based on 100 (I100), 85 (I85), 70 (I50) and 0% (I0) of plant ...
This study analyzes the potential for water savings from irrigation efficiency improvements in California, USA. We model water savings associated with three efficiency scenarios in wet, average and dry water years. The ‘efficient irrigation technology’ scenario shifts a fraction of the crops from flood irrigation to sprinkler and ...
Abstract The key to scheduling irrigation timing and amounts is determining moisture depletion in the soil. Two common methods include tracking crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and tracking the water content with a sensor buried in the soil. In Colorado, a popular online tool that estimates the ETc for a variety of well-irrigated crops is the Colorado Agricultural Meteorological Network (CoAgMet). ...
