As one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the world, wine has certainly enjoyed a rich and illustrious history over the centuries, with its origins dating back thousands of years to 6000 BCE and Mesopotamia (now Iraq and Iran), where the very first vineyards were established and the very first wines produced. Since then, global wine consumption has gone from strength to strength, with an ...
Water quality sensors enable farmers to monitor key parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient levels in irrigation water or soil moisture. By tracking these parameters, farmers can ensure optimal growing conditions and make informed decisions regarding fertilization, irrigation scheduling, and other crop ...
On October 3, Idrica Qatar (Aguas de Valencia WLL) was awarded first prize in the Green Awards’ Green Design category, thanks to the smart irrigation pilot program in which the GoAigua Smart Green solution was implemented in two parks in the city of Al Khor. Ashghal thus acknowledged the hard work carried out by the company in a project regarded as a Sustainable Development initiative, in ...

"These schedules often fail to take into account that supplemental rainfall may reduce the need for irrigation water before the nut sizing period in humid climates," Wells noted. ...
“First, fruit drop data would enable crop production estimates to be revised more accurately and timely during the course of a harvest season, and could also assist growers in scheduling their harvests to minimize fruit losses from the most affected ...
University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences faculty have developed a new app for avocado growers that provides an irrigation schedule so users save an estimated 20 to 50 percent on the water they apply to their orchards. “Weather changes daily, and the app takes into account these changes in the irrigation ...
Among the new technologies for increasing irrigation efficiency is the use of soil moisture sensors for automated irrigation. The practice allows nursery personnel to schedule plant irrigation when substrate volumetric water content drops below a certain threshold, thus improving irrigation efficiency by applying ...
” The results of an initial case study which simulated the use of FIGARO's innovative algorithms to schedule irrigation at a cotton farm in Northern Greece showed that the proposed approach would lead to substantial water savings while ensuring that the target yield specified by the farmer is achieved. For the specific field used in the simulation, the ...

“The WeatherTRAK LC Central controller, WeatherTRAK WirelessFlow, and the seamless integration of new software-as-a-solution applications automate irrigation scheduling to deliver on-demand water use data and cost-effective central control for the landscape ...
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense program announced today that irrigation controllers will soon be the first outdoor product eligible to earn the WaterSense label. ...
With agriculture responsible for 70 percent of all freshwater use, we urgently need to find ways to produce more crop per drop. Drip irrigation is one proven solution, increasing water use efficiency by as much as 40 percent compared with flooding fields indiscriminately with water. Other efficiency measures such as modest shifts in cropping patterns and smart ...
” When the one-day-a-week watering restrictions were implemented during the summer months, Fleming and his landscape staff was able to prevent stress on the expansive turf areas by gradually reducing the water schedules and avoiding expensive plant replacement projects. A four acre community with 100 condominium units nestled on the ...
Jelly Belly Candy Company executives partnered with ValleyCrest Landscape Maintenance to replace out-dated irrigation clocks with WeatherTRAK smart irrigation controllers to experience significant cost savings. ...
