Pain Points
The Apple Farm faced significant obstacles in achieving consistent apple yields,
Inconsistent Yields
The farm struggled to maintain consistent apple production due to improper irrigation and fertilization practices.
Lack of Precise Soil Data
The farmer lacked key data on moisture, conductivity, soil and temperature, causing inefficient water and nutrient use.
Inefficient Water Usage
Without precise data, the farm is often over or under-irrigated, leading to wasted resources and suboptimal crop conditions.
Our Offerings
To address these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive Soil Health Monitoring Solution
Soil Health Monitoring System
Soil Moisture: Continuous monitoring ensures the soil is neither dry nor waterlogged.
Electrical Conductivity (EC): Tracking soil salinity levels to optimize fertilization practices.
Soil Temperature: Monitoring to optimize planting schedules and growing conditions.
Precision Irrigation
Automated Irrigation System: Enabled the farm to irrigate only when necessary, based on real-time soil data.
Irrigate Anywhere: The farmer could control the irrigation system remotely, making adjustments on the go based on the latest soil health insights and Pump Automation System.
Outcomes
Ease of Irrigation
Manual Effort Efficiency: The automated system improved the manpower efficiency by 16-18%.
Optimal Water Utilization
Reduced Water Consumption: The precision irrigation system led to a 10-12% reduction in water usage.
Improved Productivity
Increased Apple Yield: With better management of soil health and precise irrigation, the farm saw a 6-7% increase in apple yield.
By implementing the Soil Health Monitoring System, this Apple Farm successfully addressed it's challenges, achieving more consistent apple yields, improving water usage efficiency and reducing manual labour. The result was a more sustainable, productive and profitable farming operation.
