IRRIGATION AND FERTIGATION CONTROL BASED ON PROBE READINGS Good irrigation management contributes not only to the optimisation of water resources, but of all available resources. For a more complete control of irrigation and fertigation, Nutricontrol equipment can be combined with a wide range of probes that measure the parameters of humidity, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC)…

IRRIGATION DURATION AND VOLUME BASED ON IRRADIATION Although summer is coming to an end in the northern hemisphere, solar radiation is still high in September. If the solar radiation increases, the evapotraspirative demand is higher and the plant’s need for water is higher.  As already mentioned in previous posts, among the main climatic parameters affecting…

HUMIDITY PROBES TO OPTIMISE WATER USAGE Monitoring in real time and continuously the variables of humidity, conductivity, temperature, nutrient concentration, etc. is of great help for correct irrigation management. One of the technological trends to improve the efficiency of water use (understood as the production obtained in a crop per volumen of water used) and…

SCHEDULE IRRIGATION BASED ON ACCUMULATED SOLAR RADIATION Solar radiation is the most important source of energy for a plant and a climatic determinant for the development and yield of a crop. A decrease in the amount or incidence of radiation lowers the chlorophyll content and reduces the photosynthetic activity and the concentration of photochemicals in…
