Kickstart Your Season With Source Pre-Season Simulations
Source Cultivate's Pre-Season Simulations offers growers accurate yield forecasts by simulating plant growth based on real climate data, before the season starts!
Revolutionize your farming practices with Source Cultivate and Source Irrigation Control. Learn how these cutting-edge solutions can enhance insights and productivity in horticulture.
Recently, Source.ag launched Source Cultivate, an AI-driven solution designed to support growers with accurate, real-time yield predictions. With Source Cultivate, the Source.ag suite now provides a practical and innovative tool to advance the future of horticulture. In this article, we’ll explore how this solution benefits growers worldwide.
Modern horticulture faces a bewildering array of challenges. With the increase in population worldwide, growers become responsible for more and more mouths to feed with their produce. That means, growers are constantly aiming to improve their yields while facing resource inefficiencies and the impacts of climate change. In recent years, traditional cultivation methods have proven to fall short, leading to wastage of water and nutrients. On top of that, growers have a lack of precise data-driven insights into their crop cultivation. The need for sustainable practices and enhanced cultivation insights has never been more critical.
With Source Solutions, Source.ag aims to offer in-depth data analysis, AI-driven crop management, and autonomous execution strategies for increased revenue, mitigated operational risks, and improved yield results. This significant challenge is resolved through four solutions: The Source Plant App, Source Track, Source Cultivate, and Source Irrigation Control.
The Source Plant App enables the creation of a digital twin of your plants, providing accurate and detailed fruit-level data. Source Track collects these and other hardware metrics in your greenhouse into a centralized dashboard, allowing you to make informed decisions and adapt to changing conditions.

So, what is Source Cultivate, and why is it groundbreaking? Source Cultivate is an agricultural technology solution designed to provide real-time insights and comprehensive data analytics to growers, through a one-click cultivation simulation. By leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning, Source Cultivate offers cultivation simulations that support the decision-making process and improve yield forecasts.
Finally, Source Irrigation Control is an innovative solution aimed at precision irrigation management. Its primary function is to automate and optimize water usage in greenhouses, ensuring plants receive the exact amount of water they need at the right times. This technology monitors soil moisture levels and weather conditions, adjusting irrigation schedules accordingly. By reducing water wastage and enhancing irrigation efficiency, Source Irrigation Control supports sustainable farming practices.
Combining all Source Solutions creates a powerful synergy that offers growers comprehensive tools for greenhouse management. When integrated with Source Track, these technologies provide unparalleled benefits:
Improved Efficiency and Productivity: Together, they streamline operations, reduce manual labor, and enhance crop management precision. Growers are further supported by AI, enabling both autonomous irrigation and simulation capabilities.
Sustainability Impact: The combination minimizes resource wastage, particularly water, contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices. However, it's important to note that Cultivate and Control do not directly communicate with each other; irrigation is not considered a factor in yield prediction within Cultivate.
Improved Insights: Growers gain access to detailed analytics and real-time data, allowing for proactive decision-making and better crop outcomes. Proper water management is crucial for optimal plant development, and Source Irrigation Control ensures that key performance indicators (KPIs) are more easily and accurately achieved, which in turn provides valuable input for successful cultivation with Source Cultivate.
As we embrace innovation in agriculture, tools like Source Cultivate and Source Irrigation Control are essential in overcoming modern horticulture challenges. These technologies enhance productivity and insights, paving the way for more sustainable farming practices.
