Introducing Source Irrigation Control

After years of development, hard work, patience, trial, and error, we’re thrilled to be leaping forward by launching Source Irrigation Control - our AI-driven solution designed to empower growers through autonomous irrigation management. Source Irrigation Control stands out with its target-based growing approach. Growers set their targets and Source Irrigation Control does the rest. 

The launch of Source Irrigation Control is accompanied by a nomination for the HortiContact Innovation Award, of which the winner will be announced on the 7th of March 2024 at HortiContact in Gorinchem, the Netherlands. This nomination underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and sustainability in agriculture, and we’re extremely excited to be nominated. 

Now, before we delve into the details of Source Irrigation Control, we’d like to take some time to extend our gratitude to the dedicated growers who opened up their greenhouses for the development of Source Irrigation Control, those who contributed to pilot programs, and all other partners. Their feedback, insights, and support have been instrumental in developing our solution as it is today. 

We asked the Source Irrigation Control development team how they’ve experienced working on the solution, Ruben Mak, Lead Data Scientist mentioned: “It is incredible how much we have learned about plants and all the different ways growers irrigate, we are pushing the boundaries of what is scientifically known and how we can take a leap forward with irrigation in practice!”. 

Introducing Source Irrigation Control

Scaling greenhouse agriculture has long been plagued by challenges, from fluctuating weather patterns to the complexities of plant development. With Source Irrigation Control, we aim to empower growers to overcome these obstacles and achieve unprecedented levels of scalability, predictability, and eventually profitability.

At the heart of Source Irrigation Control lies the power of artificial intelligence. By leveraging historical data, predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring, Source Irrigation Control generates climate computer settings tailored to each greenhouse's unique conditions, enabling growers to achieve their irrigation targets with precision and efficiency. 

During the pilot last year, we found, that dry-down targets, one of the most important indicators for healthy root development, for growers using Source Irrigation Control were reached 87% of the days compared to 37% of the days without. These numbers show the difference that Source Irrigation Control could make. 

The success of Source Irrigation Control is rooted in data-driven decision-making. With Source Irrigation Control, growers can consistently achieve their targets with less error margin than before. This underscores the transformative impact of AI-driven solutions in agriculture.
