Watermark Sensors - For use with GBUG and Watermark
In any agricultural irrigation environment, a grower is constantly faced with the need to more effectively manage his/her irrigation scheduling routine. Soil moisture measurement, on your farm, in your crop and soil type and with your irrigation method, has proven to be an effective and inexpensive irrigation management technique since the 1920's.
The irrigation of agriculture crops has a single purpose - to help a farmer make more money from his labor and capital. Producing a greater crop yield and quality, lower per unit cost, and put more money in the bank at harvest. This alone is the purest value of good irrigation scheduling. But that's not all - as attested to by many of our users. The additional "fringe benefits" most often include:
Less Water Used
Less Pumping Energy Consumed
Mitigation of Pests and Diseases
Prevention of excessive leaching of mobile plant nutrients
Prevention of groundwater pollution
Lower wear and tear on irrigation systems
Lowering of irrigation labor costs
