JUNGLE FARM USES SENSOTERRA SENSORS TO IMPROVE YIELD AND
QUALITY OF CROPS
"With Sensoterra I can get precise and instant
information on whether or not my strawberries
need water, even when it might not be obvious
from the plant itself." – Blaine Staples, The
Jungle Farm
•
The sensors are being used on matted row strawberries and
vegetables and strawberries grown with plastic mulch to understand
how much water goes to the plants and how much evaporates.
•
The Sensoterra technology allows crop yield and quality to increase,
decrease the amount of time checking the crops moisture levels
manually, and provide more accurate data on when to irrigate and
how much water to use.
•
Jungle Farm is utilizing Sensoterra soil moisture sensors
communicating on the LoRaWAN
®
protocol on its 30-acre
strawberry and vegetable farm in Alberta, Canada in order to make
smarter irrigation decisions and increase crop yield and quality.
•
Jungle Farm is installing 10 sensors of different lengths in its
strawberry fields in order to evaluate the crops and compare results
on soil moisture and weather data.
