PROCESS TECH AG OPTIMIZES IRRIGATION FOR TREE HEALTH USING
SENSOTERRA
"I chose Sensoterra probes due to the simplicity
of the system. There is a huge need to learn
how to better irrigate and control the
consumption of water." – Matt Murray, Process
Tech AG
•
Since water scarcity is an issue in California, it is important to understand how to
properly irrigate. Sensoterra sensors monitor moisture at the root of the plant
providing insights on how much to irrigate a tree and to define run-times.
•
With the use of LoRaWAN® technology, Sensoterra probes are wireless, allowing
for flexible placement, and installation is fast and easy.
•
With the data gathered, Frederik Farms with Process Tech Ag can set more
accurate irrigation schedules, and better understand soil moisture levels.
•
Frederik Farms uses Sensoterra sensors on its 195-acre fruit and nut orchard
in California to monitor soil health and capillary behavior of their trees.
•
Process Tech Ag uses Sensoterra sensor soil moisture data to integrate it with
local weather, temperature, and irrigation systems for precision agriculture
techniques.
•
Using Sensoterra technology allows Frederik Farms to remotely monitor tree
health, make smart decisions for increased yield, and optimize irrigation
schedules
