Growers can now optimize their irrigation strategies with the new irrigation optimization product from Ceres Imaging, a precision irrigation company. This innovative solution combines soil moisture sensors and other in-field data with Ceres’ imagery to make precision irrigation simpler and more efficient for growers.
According to Ashwin Madgavkar, CEO and founder of Ceres Imaging, optimizing irrigation is crucial, especially during times of drought when water resources are limited. The integration of different technologies provides growers with a comprehensive view of their irrigation performance, enabling them to better manage water use and achieve their goals.
Ceres’ irrigation optimization solution offers several benefits for growers, including making better decisions to improve uniformity, simplifying daily irrigation decisions by accessing sensor information and imagery in one place, and identifying areas where water usage can be reduced using water demand maps provided by Ceres.
The way irrigation optimization works is by providing precise crop health data through imagery and real-time data from sensors at specific locations on the farm. By combining in-field sensor data with imagery, growers can have a comprehensive view of their irrigation strategy, from application to its impact on the crop. This integration allows growers to quickly identify issues, errors, and discrepancies, ultimately saving them valuable time.
