How Agurotech helped Pieter Tromp save water, time and costs.
Onion grower Pieter Tromp of Overijssel uses Agurotech’s soil sensors to better determine when irrigation is really needed.
He monitors a total of 11 hectares, divided into two plots, and wanted to avoid unnecessary irrigation – a hefty cost in fuel, labor and water.
“I no longer have to doubt whether I’m too early or too late. The sensor shows what is really happening in the soil.”
Agurotech’s soil sensor and app allow Pieter to track real-time soil moisture and weather data.
The insights give him the confidence to delay irrigation when conditions allow – saving time, water and energy without affecting the crop.
