Innovative ideas are being harnessed to help feed an increasing global population. This is where SupPlant's smart system for irrigation control can help farmers everywhere to produce more food from their available resources in order to meet the growing demand. The system's unique algorithm is based on the correlation between the plant's stress level and the volume of water in the soil. This fully autonomous irrigation system works on the basis of how much water the plant needs after the input of the relevant analyzed data. In addition, the farmer receives real-time reports and data on issues such as the state of the soil, the plant's condition, and the prevailing climatic conditions, all of which allow him/her to control what is happening in the greenhouse, orchard or large field – and rely on the system to deliver precise irrigation instructions for the plant to yield optimal produce.
One such development involved a meeting between Oded Rahav the Company's Vice-President for business and the representatives of the governments of Morocco and other Middle Eastern countries at a recent agricultural summit meeting in Morocco, where Oded learned about the problems of arid lands on a national scale and the potential of SupPlant's irrigation control system to increase food quantities in those countries.
The use of the software in our innovative irrigation system helps the above companies improve the use of their own irrigation products with consequent better sales. The same advantage applies to the Adama Company's core products (bio-stimulants). This cooperation improves the contribution of Israeli agriculture and technology to increasing the quantity of food worldwide and SupPlant welcomes this development and encourages its growth. |
