"As an industry, we need to improve the efficiency of the data
collected in the field and to make better irrigation decisions.
There is a huge need to learn how to better irrigate and control
the consumption of water." –Matt Murray, Process Tech Ag.
•
100+ Sensoterra sensors communicate soil moisture data via LoRaWAN
®
have been
installed on the farm.
•
Fast results: Correlating irrigation events with soil moisture levels allows to understand the
soil absorption and capillary behavior of blossoming trees. With this, Fredriks Farms can set
irrigation schedules based on actual and timely data.
•
Fredriks Farms, a 195-acre fruit and nut orchard located in the Ripon and Madera region of
the Central Valley in California, introduced Sensoterra sensors to monitor soil health and
capillary behavior of their trees.
•
Process Tech Ag integrates the soil moisture data from Sensoterra sensors, with local
weather, temperature, and irrigation systems for precision agriculture techniques.
