solution partners Advanced Analytics for Irrigation and Crop Monitoring The recently released features in IrriMAX Live reveal the depth and activity of plant roots. This previously hard to interpret data is now presented in a graphical form, allowing the grower and agronomist to quickly understand the depths that roots are taking water from. This amazing tool leads to precise irrigation management scheduling, with the ability to compare the depths of water being applied - to the depths that roots are “drinking” from. Displaying data from Sentek’s Drill & Drop probes, the charts in IrriMAX Live software show the values at each 10cm depth – and can also be summed to show total water content in the soil. Too Much Water? Or Not Enough? Knowing real site and time-specific root activity, growers can now assess the effectiveness of every single irrigation event. Did the last irrigation apply too much water, too little or, was it just right?
