AutoAgronom. The Innovation New Concept In Agriculture AutoAgronom automatically controls, measures and takes decisions concerning the exact timing and amount of fertigation, thus saving up to 50% water, 70% fertilizer and maximizing the yield. AutoAgronom system controls the growth of agricultural produets and supplies computerized on-line answers to the most important questions facing the grower: fertigation amounts and timing, Control is based on a formula that constantly calculates tendencies and changes in the roots area, ‘AutoAgronom System "learns" the behavior and the nature of the crop, implements, automatic fertigation, keeps an optimal crop environment all through the growing period and relieves the farmer from watering and fertilizing dilemmas. ‘AutoAgronom system is the product of years of extensive experience and intensive research in the field of irrigation control and analysis of ratios between soil-water-air and fertilizers. Itis applicable in each place of growth and crop, in each substrate and in any climate. How does the System work? ‘AutoAgronom takes samples and checks the physical and chemical data ofthe roots Zone in realtime. The reading is done by highly sensitive tensiometers, EC, pH, Nitrate and oxygen sensors. The system processes the data and automatically operates the fertigation layout calculated on the basis of the on-line information, cross referenced with the accumulated agricultural knowledge. ‘The fact that the condition and the needs of the plant can be assessed through the physical and chemical changes in the roots solution is the basis for the operation of the AutoAgronom System, and therefore, its measuring and implementing process is suitable forall types of vegetal crops. Small irrigation doses, applied several times along the day, allow the water to move by capillarty and diffusion, and to spread horizontally sideways, reaching all substrates. Such a method enables the roots to receive an effective oxygen level. As a result, the plant constantly gets the exact amounts of water and fertilizer for its needs and itis thus healthier, stronger, and gives better yield ‘The grower may also contact the company's support center through the internet (or modem) in order to receive agronomical and technical support. In addition to fertigation control, the AutoAgronom System includes data acquisition and data management, emits warning signals, warns in case of irregularities, etc. ‘A wide variety of sensors may be installed in the System, in response to farmers’ requests and needs The controller also monitors the climate conditions in greenhouses (and other closed structures), by using unique sophisticated formulas, able to calculate the meteorological parameters necessary to optimize crop conditions.
