Soil Health in Cotton Cultivation

The integration of cover crops in agricultural fields can influence soil water balance, making continuous monitoring and precise measurement of soil and plant parameters essential.

Netafim will implement an advanced monitoring system to track soil moisture, water usage, and irrigation pressures in real-time. This system includes the installation of tensiometers and volumetric moisture sensors, with data transmission and analysis conducted via the GrowSphere app, enabling graphical visualization and informed decision-making. Close collaboration with all project stakeholders ensures the optimal use of monitoring and irrigation tools, contributing to the development of a sustainable cotton cultivation protocol. This initiative prioritizes continuous monitoring and precision irrigation, balancing farmer needs with environmental and community benefits.
