Athena IR-Tech Details
Precision irrigation using plant-based, infrared (IR) thermal sensors will drive the reduction of water usage across all irrigated crops. Athena IR-Tech is at the heart of this AgTech revolution with our Transp-IR solution that lets the plant guide the grower on how much water it needs to achieve the outcomes you desire – higher yield or more quality.At Athena IR-Tech we simply listen to the plant. The plant is actually the sensor. It takes into account the soil moisture levels, weather, rootstocks, clones, geological profile, etc… so that all we need to do is measure how well it is managing all of those factors. Being able to measure this didn't come easy though. Multi-year, scientific research has allowed Athena IR-Tech to develop and commercialise a proprietary algorithm that measures how well the plant is transpiring and convert that into an optimal level of water use efficiency. This is then directly linked to the plant's ability to photosynthesize and therefore manage the development of its crop from a yield or quality perspective, making the most efficient use of the water the plant has available to it. Our Transp-IR solution is crop or cultivar specific as every cultivar or crop regulates the opening and closing of its stomata to keep itself cool differently. It's not enough that we have the algorithm tuned to winegrapes, we have it tuned to achieve the optimal irrigation for cabenet sauvignon as opposed to shiraz. We combine this great science with an easy to use interface that simply provides the grower the answer. Through an email or SMS message that will tell the grower to irrigate or visually on a graph, the grower immediately knows if the plant requires water.How well does this work? In proven trials, growers will get the same yield and quality with 75% less water with our solution for shiraz. For cabernet sauvignon there is a savings of about 35%. We are simply giving the plant only the water it needs to achieve the outcome you des
