Water is present in everything we eat. It often goes unseen, yet it is essential for growing, processing, transporting, and preparing every ingredient that reaches our tables. From a cup of coffee to a fresh salad or a plate of rice, water is at the heart of global gastronomy. Today, in an increasingly interconnected world, this relationship between water and food takes on new dimensions, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Population growth and an increase in irrigated agricultural land lead to a greater need for water and energy, at a time when global warming and rising greenhouse gas emissions are posing a real environmental challenge. In this context, the benefits of smart irrigation, i.e., using the exact amount of water needed for each crop, help to optimize this scarce resource. If we take a closer look at ...

“Crop4Sight’s prediction of tuber initiation (TI) has also been useful, as we get an idea of when we need to start irrigating. “We’ve also invested in the system’s irrigation module, which is a live cloud-based scheduling tool that’s easy to use and can be accessed by anybody at any time of day or night. “We enter our local weather and irrigation ...
The impact of potential future climate change scenarios on the irrigation water requirements (IRRs) of two major agricultural crops (coffee and seed corn) in Hawai'i was studied using the Irrigation Management System (IManSys) model. In addition to IRRs calculations, IManSys calculates runoff, deep percolation, canopy interception, and effective rainfall ...
With the increasing competition for water, not only should irrigation water be considered, but also an approach encompassing the total water balance is necessary. ...
