Water saving has now become a top priority, especially in our world, that of agriculture, where water plays a fundamental role. Its presence represents a vital resource, but limited and it is our duty to use it without waste and with caution.

As the challenges posed by climate change increase, it is essential to adopt sustainable practices that ensure efficient use of water and consequently ensure the sustainability of crops.

In the course of this article, we will try to put all our knowledge at your disposal to allow you to better face the increasingly current problem of water saving.

What small measures could we put in place to save water?

Water-saving solutions include advanced technologies such as:

biostimulants that optimize the use of plant water resources, improving their absorption capacity and resistance to water stress
sprinklers that guarantee uniform and efficient irrigation, reducing water consumption and improving moisture distribution
soil moisture control probes , which allow you to monitor the water content of the soil in real time

The role of biostimulants: Thales

Talete is a specialized solution that optimizes the use of water both in conditions of availability and scarcity of water. This organic soil supplement is rich in biomolecules that influence the cellular genome of plants, improving the economy and use of water resources. Thales lowers the field capacity, making the water retained by soil particles more available to the roots.

How does Talete work?

The biomolecules in Talete, extracted from plant raw materials using GeaPower technology, work directly on the physiology of the plant. This improves water productivity not only under water scarce conditions but also under normal conditions. Used in fertigation, Talete increases crop productivity by optimizing irrigation.

Sprinklers

For proper irrigation management, the use of Rivulis AquaSmart sprinklers is essential. These sprayers ensure uniform and efficient irrigation, reducing water consumption and improving the distribution of moisture in the soil

The probes: how they work

Moisture control probes measure water in the soil using advanced technologies such as tensiometers, capacitive probes, and neutron probes, providing real-time data for precise irrigation decisions. But what are the benefits of probes?

Precise watering

Accurate data allows you to irrigate only when needed, avoiding waste and ensuring the right amount of water for your plants

Water Saving

Optimizes water use by reducing waste, which is especially important in arid areas

Plant Health

Proper watering promotes healthy plant growth, reducing the risk of disease

Operational Efficiency

Minimizes frequent manual inspections, saving time and resources

When it comes to probes, the Sentek Drill&Drop probe is perfect for monitoring soil moisture. Very easy to install, with sensors every 10 cm, it offers precise readings of humidity, temperature and salinity every 30 minutes, accessible via smartphone.
