The ongoing style of originate in substrates increases the necessity of efficient body of water and nutrient management for greenhouse production . An optimal irrigation scheme is essential to maximize the growth and the crop lineament and it also significantly contributes to cost savings . DrainVision was developed to abide raiser throughout their decision making .
What is DrainVision system"DrainVision allows for a better insight into the waste pipe performance and water availableness for the plants . The system demo the water capacity in the substratum , EC in the drain , irrigation and enfeeble quantity and timing " , Ziv Omer , DrainVision Product Manager & Agronomist with Paskal . We ’ve already explain
Accurate data are provide in a five minute intervals , and are available in a friendly drug user port in real clock time . The system offers on-line warning signal , base on threshold that have been defined by the grower .
supervise drain and body of water tension"Most of the raiser measure the drain at the end of the day . However , measure drain amount , EC and water tensity along the Clarence Day are important factors for optimal growth and may prevent plant ’s strain " , Ziv explains .
" Excess of weewee could negatively affect the industrial plant ’s growth as a result of scurvy oxygen level in the root zone , reduce mineral uptake and pathogen development . "
In most case growers sample to maintain a drain part of 20 - 30 % of irrigation . By using the DrainVision system the cultivator can easy follow the drainage performance throughout the day in gain to EC levels .
pregnant cost savingA case study in four - hectare tomato greenhouse in Spain , show a significant price deliverance by using DrainVision system . By using DrainVision system , the agriculturalist successfully reduced the daily drain from 60 % to 30 % and improved the piddle subject matter in the beginning zone without a negatively charged essence on the ontogeny ( figure 1 . ) .
Optimization of irrigation direction by DrainVision : cluck here for enlargement . Irrigation of 2.1 liter / tray / day company with 1.3 cubic decimetre / tray / twenty-four hours of drain , which is 62 % drain(A ) , make gamey saturation floor in the substratum that accomplish almost 28,500 gr at the peaks(B ) . After alteration of the irrigation cycle per second , an irrigation of 1.4 l / tray / mean solar day and drain of 0.4 liter / tray / day ( 33 % of irrigation ) has been achieved(C ) . Smaller irrigation amount decreases the water content in the substrate in the morning and the good afternoon although a saturated level has been maintained during the noon(D ) .
Significant cost savingA case report in four - hectare tomato glasshouse in Spain , shew a significant cost savings by using DrainVision scheme . By using DrainVision system , the cultivator successfully reduced the daily drain from 60 % to 30 % and ameliorate the piss content in the ancestor zone without a disconfirming effect on the ontogenesis ( figure 1 . ) . The reduction in the daily waste pipe per centum saved irrigation monetary value as well as improve the industrial plant growth and yield . The full increase in gross income can reach more than € 20,000 ( hectare / time of year ) in Lycopersicon esculentum . ”
TestimonialDrainVision systems is now work in 13 different countries and provides monitoring solution and robotic irrigation to dissimilar eccentric of crops .
Mr. Roee Shavit , a agriculturist from ‘ Tikun Olam ’ , one of the sophisticated hemp nurseries in Israel cite that “ by keep abreast the DrainVision we are now having the potentiality of adjusting the drainpipe performance and attain the desire EC level at the oddment of the irrigation cycle . DrainVision enable us to reduce the usage of weewee and fertilizers while mentaining a stable EC level in the drainage . The delivery of water and fertilizers can pass 20 % at the conclusion of the year ” .
New features in DrainVisionZiv explains how there are new features in DrainVision . " It is now possible to tie in the DrainVision system to the chief irrigation controller in the securities industry and to operate the irrigation automatically " , he sound out .
" Also online alert are now available in the DrainVision software . It is easy to define and change the tresholds in mobile or PC . The tresholds can be operated for each of the deliberate argument : pee message , waste pipe , irrigation and EC in the drain " , and summarizes : " Stay in control of your irrigation , monitor it efficiently , and relieve on your cost .
