Ceres Imaging, a leading precision irrigation company, has unveiled a new irrigation optimization product aimed at simplifying and streamlining precision irrigation for growers. This innovative solution combines soil moisture sensors with Ceres’ imagery to provide growers with a comprehensive view of their irrigation performance. According to Ashwin Madgavkar, CEO and founder of Ceres Imaging, optimizing irrigation is crucial, especially during times of water scarcity. By integrating different technologies, growers can make better decisions about water use and achieve their goals more efficiently.
The integration of various technologies marks the next step in the evolution of precision irrigation. With Ceres’ irrigation optimization solution, growers can access real-time data from sensors at specific locations on the farm alongside imagery that provides precise crop health data. This integration allows growers to have a holistic view of their irrigation strategy, from application to its impact on the crop. By combining in-field sensor data with imagery, growers can quickly identify issues, errors and discrepancies that could be costly in terms of time and resources.
Some key benefits of irrigation optimization for growers include making better decisions to improve uniformity, making daily irrigation decisions easier and faster 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 ability to optimize irrigation is essential for farmers who want to conserve water while still achieving their desired crop yields. With this innovative solution from Ceres Imaging, growers can make the most out of their limited resources and achieve their goals more efficiently than ever before.
