1 Farm Management Made Easier IrriWise CMT Crop Management Technologies Your Farm's Outlook

2 IrriWise Precise Nutrigation Crop Management Technologies give the farmer advanced and extremely convenient tools to ensure precise fertilization and irrigation control, to optimize resource utilization and to control irrigation scheduling. Precise Nutrigation ensures exact irrigation and fertilizers to each land and crop type while preventing waste of water, fertilizers and environmental pollution.

3 Leaving you on top of things no matter where you are Powerful Management Tool IrriWise Manager is designed to help you ensure irrigation system performance and to support factual based agronomic decisions. Via innovative wireless technology, IrriWise Manager continuously collects data from the field, enabling you to view and analyze data in real-time. Critical thresholds can be pre-set and alarms can be viewed as pop-ups or sent to your mobile phone.

4 Powerful Agronomic Tool IrriWise Manager allows authorized remote users to download, store and analyze data. Thus, consultants and agronomists can provide real-time advice in order to optimize results. Water meter provides information of runtime volume and flow rate Soil moisture sensors are set to frequently measure soil moisture levels Plant sensors provide real-time indication of the plant s water status Weather station provides accurate climate information including ETo IrriWise Manager allows easy cross-referencing between parameters to enhance understanding of plant behavior while supporting well-based irrigation strategies. Liters

6 Monitoring System Performance The IrriWise Manager Irrigation Program IrriWise regularly checks fertilizer and water tank status, and can provide advance notification when they reach critical levels or when flow rate is out of range. The system can monitor sophisticated dry-contacts applications such as: pump status (on/off, fail, out of schedule) and any 4-20mA analog applications. All devices can be monitored and viewed graphically, while providing alarms according to pre-set thresholds. Weather Station Tank Level Pump Status Sensor Values and Thresholds
