Buried moisture and electrical conductivity (EC) sensors are at the heart of precision agriculture. Don't rely on guesswork; use Plantae technology to improve your forecasts and increase both product quality and quantity.
Why is it important to install buried humidity and electrical conductivity (EC) sensors?
These sensors allow you to see what is really happening in the root zone, not just on the surface, and they do not interfere with soil maintenance work.
Key benefits:
- 💧 Precise Irrigation: You know when and how much to water, avoiding water stress or excess water.
- 🧪 Salt control and fertilization: Electrical Conductivity indicates salt accumulation and fertigation efficiency.
- 📉 Saving water, fertilizers and energy.
- 🌿 The roots remain healthier and contribute to better crop development.
- 🧠 Decisions based on data, not assumptions. No more guesswork!
Why combine it with buried drip irrigation (RGE / SDI)?
Buried drip irrigation delivers water and nutrients directly to the root, with minimal losses, avoiding evapotranspiration.
Advantages of Drip Irrigation Buried:
- Prevents surface evaporation.
- It reduces weeds.
- It maintains constant humidity.
- Reduced surface salinization, avoiding a layer that hinders soil oxygenation.
- Greater efficiency of fertigation.
- It allows machining without damaging tapes.
When buried sensors are combined with buried drip irrigation, maximum system efficiency is achieved.
