GrowSphere Crop Advisor
Irrigation Decision Support

Don't rely on estimates in irrigation planning

Crop Advisor is a real-time irrigation decision support system and an integral part of Grow Sphere™. Crop Advisor continuously provides recommendations on how much and when to irrigate in order to achieve maximum irrigation efficiency and high-quality produce.

Proper Watering in All Conditions

As every farmer knows, growing conditions such as weather, crop development factors, and soil moisture are constantly changing. All of these affect the amount of water and nutrients you need to give your crops. Crop Advisor helps you optimize your irrigation planning by evaluating all these variables in real time.

How does it work?

Crop Advisor provides practical, data-driven support to producers by eliminating guesswork in irrigation planning. Its accuracy is ensured by combining three separate data sources: sensor, hydraulic, and plant data.

Real-Time Data

Sensors capture real-time data about the water status of your product and your field, while data streams from local weather forecasts complete the picture.

Hydraulic Data

Crop Advisor adjusts its calculations based on the actual condition of your irrigation system's valves, laterals, sub-mains, etc.

Crop Models

Crop Advisor adjusts its calculations based on the growth stage of your crop. This process is performed using product modeling algorithms based on Netafim's 50 years of agricultural knowledge and expertise.

Advantages

Crop Advisor Increases Efficiency and Yield by Improving the Irrigation Decision-Making Process.

Optimize Your Irrigation Investment Return

Maximize resources and minimize waste by applying precise water and nutrients tailored to soil, air, and plant conditions.

Peace

Irrigation planning is based on real-time climate data and soil-water balance models.

Maximize Yield Quality and Quantity

Continuously adjust your irrigation plan to synchronize with the actual growth needs of your crop.
