MANAGE WATER EFFICIENTLY TO REDUCE COSTS
SOLUTION: WATER & SOIL SENSORS
Water is a fundamental resource and can be costly if not managed in the correct way. Measuring soil moisture levels is key. Typically, you need to have 25% soil moisture content, otherwise plant stress occurs. Too much moisture in the soil, conversely, fills the air pores, damaging plant health. Managing irrigation with the METOS water and soil sensors will give you a greater insight into protecting your water resource.
METOS USA offers a diverse range of hardware and software solutions from PESSL Instruments that monitor the soil moisture, temperature, salinity and presence of nutrients as well as the plant (dendrometry variations etc), and the atmosphere. They can manage irrigation systems for flow, water level, pressure, pH level and electrical conductivity of fertiliser. These solutions are a cost-effective tool for soil moisture and irrigation management.
BENEFITS
- Accurately manage moisture levels
- Irrigate more efficiently
- Save water and reduce costs
- Reduce your carbon footprint
- Save time & resource
- Accurately time fertiliser, water and pesticide applications

FARM EQUIPMENT & MACHINERY OPTIMISATION
SOLUTION: WORKTRACK and WORKTRACK TAG
Irrespective of business size, keeping an eye on every piece of powered or non-powered kit, can be difficult. Tracking of machines gives peace of mind about where they are, but you will also be able to monitor tractors and harvesters in operation, their efficiency and utilisation, to ensure they are a worthwhile investment.
For non-powered equipment, WorkTrack Tag is an automatic tracking system which can be used on assets that may be static, such as a bowser.
For prime movers, the WorkTrack monitors combines and tractors. This system locates units, monitor their usage, and record data/update settings.
BENEFITS
- Improve machinery planning
- Optimise machinery operation
- Save money
- Improve harvest efficiency
