SENSOTERRA SAVED BULB CROP FROM DROUGHT WITH
SMART DATA USING LoRaWAN
®
"Tulips are a tricky flower, it's difficult to find suitable soil for tulips to grow
in. The magic happens when the farmers see the readings in the app, go
out to their fields and confirm the real need for irrigation. The sensors are
helping them turn a gut feeling into a data-driven decision to irrigate." –
Geert Steenhuis, GMN
•
GMN, a crop advisor specializing in flower bulbs, services more than 30 growers across the
Netherlands. GMN is working with Sensoterra to provide growers with the best insights into
their crops' irrigation needs.
•
Sensoterra sensors are completely wireless and can be placed across fields - providing 24/7
insights into soil moisture levels.
•
The challenge of growing tulips in the Netherlands is the ability to find suitable soil. This
results in growers planting flower bulbs across multiple fields, which makes it hard to
monitor fields frequently and results in a lack of oversight and mismanagement.
•
Growers can't be in all their fields at once and must rely on smart data to provide them with
the field insights they need to monitor their soil health. LoRaWAN
®
technology provides
such insights in a time-efficient and cost reduced manner.
