Crop Advisor is a real-time irrigation decision-support and an indispensable part of GrowSphere™. Crop Advisor continuously provides recommendations on how much and when you need to irrigate in order to achieve a high-quality crop with maximum irrigation efficiency.
As every farmer knows, growing conditions such as weather, crop development factors, and soil moisture among others, are continually changing. These all affect the amount of water and nutrients you need to deliver to your crops. Crop Advisor factors all of these variables in real-time, helping you to optimize your irrigation scheduling.
Crop Advisor offers practical data-driven support to
growers, taking the guesswork out of irrigation
planning. Its accuracy results from combining three
sources of data: sensor, hydraulic, and crop.
Sensors capture real-time data about the water status of your crop and field, while data feeds from local weather forecasts complete the picture.
Crop Advisor adapts its calculations based on actual status of your irrigation system such as valves, laterals, submains, etc.
Crop Advisor modifies its calculations based on your crop’s growth stage. This is done using crop model algorithms based on 50 years of Netafim agronomic knowledge and expertise.
Crop Advisor’s recommendations are based on innovative, up-to-date crop models developed by Netafim’s leading agronomists, building on over 50 years of global irrigation experience. The models, developed in collaboration with top universities and irrigation institutes, are field-tested to ensure effectiveness and reliability.
