Netafim Integrates Flurosat's Remote Sensing Technology Into Irrigation Management Platform

By FluroSat

Netafim, a global leader in precision irrigation, and FluroSat, a leading company in remote field sensing and analytics, have announced their collaboration on integrating FluroSat’s data into Netafim’s automated irrigation and fertigation cloud-based platform, NetBeat. FluroSat’s unique remote sensing and plant metrics combines with Netafim’s NetBeat platform to enable easier, more precise, and more reliable irrigation, fertigation, and crop management decisions.

As a result of this collaboration, Netafim’s customers (and particularly NetBeat owners) get access to advanced crop monitoring tools as a standalone monitoring and analysis service or directly integrated into Netafim’s NetBeat. This results in site-specific irrigation recommendations with near-real-time adjustment of irrigation and fertigation quantities based on the current crop condition assessed by FluroSense.

FluroSense agronomic analytics engine provides data about the performance and the status of the crops, reporting biomass levels, canopy cover, growth stage, and crop development trends for every field or block on a farm. In addition to crop performance, FluroSense also enables detection of crop stress stemming from nutrient deficiency, pest, disease or irrigation system issues such as leaks and sends out corresponding alerts.

“We designed Netbeat to be an open platform since we believe that joint innovation is the way of the future,” said Guy Leventon, VP Digital Farming at Netafim. “We have examined dozens of new technologies with the aim of incorporating the best into the Netbeat platform. After comprehensive testing we concluded that FluroSat brings unique capabilities that will result in high value for farmers.”
