Measure What Matters
Smart irrigation pays for itself by synchronizing sensing, scheduling, and automation. AquaSpy and CropX probes show moisture by depth to guide root-zone decisions, while Arable Mark 3 and iMETOS 3.3 add hyperlocal weather and canopy context to complete the picture.
Turn Data Into Schedules
Decision engines like CropX Irrigation Advisor, Jain Logic, Valley 365, and Lindsay FieldNET translate signals into irrigation plans that respect texture, phenology, and forecast. Acting on the plan, Netafim NetBeat orchestrates drip and fertigation, WiseConn Trellis ET automates valves based on ET, and Reinke ReinCloud or FieldNET delivers remote pivot control and variable-rate irrigation.
