Case Studies:
CITRUS
South Australian citrus grower Steve Lang has pioneered research in soil moisture monitoring and found amazing results in production and quality of fruit. Steve says he has access to his data on demand. The importance of improved irrigation scheduling for placement and retention of fertilizer in the root zone is responsible for the increase in yield and quality....View More

POTATOES
Agronomist Paul Frost says “previous experience monitoring crops with EnviroSCAN ® has shown that potato crops capture most of their water requirements from the top 10-20 cm (4” to 8”) of soil.” By reducing the duration of irrigation events to wet the bottom of the active root zone, leaching of water and nutrients into the lower region of the profile can be reduced; ensuring resources are not wasted as well as achieving increases in tuber size and quality....View More
