The Challenges
Precise irrigation is often identified with advanced technologies such as sensors, drones and satellites. The key challenge facing farmers is to irrigate the right amount at the right time. It’s also vital to obtain early notification in the event of excessive irrigation (pipe burst / valve closure failure) or insufficient irrigation (clogged drips / sprinklers). Considering information about weather conditions and soil moisture are added to the mix, the systems meet 90% of farmers’ needs.
