DOTS, Data of The Soil Details
Modern agriculture relies primarily on accurate water and nutrient application during the growing season. While technological means to monitor and control soil-water content are well developed, affordable, and commercially available, up to date, no practical solutions offer continuous real-time data regarding nutrient availability in cultivated soils. Due to the lack of real-time nutrient monitoring technologies for agricultural soils, farmers commonly rely on "fertilizer application tables" offered by the fertilizer companies. To prevent crop damage due to nutrient deficiencies, these application tables commonly advise farmers to overdose the soil with fertilizers as a standard procedure. Consequently, worldwide, farmers waste about 40% of their applied fertilizers each growing season.Resultantly, year on year, farmers suffer substantial financial losses due to fertilizer wastage, which eventually leach down to groundwater in the form of nitrate, leading to water resources pollution and vast ecological catastrophes.Closing the wastage cycle, authorities end up spending heavily every year on the rehabilitation of water resources contaminated by nitrate.The predicament:Although critical, due to technological barriers, as of date, there is no available, economically viable, and operationally practical solution offering real-time in-situ Nitrate data, which can support farmers with efficient fertilization, and eliminate the common practice of soil overdosing and groundwater pollution.The DOTS Solution:DOTS Developed a patented real-time electro-optical sensor and analysis system for continuous in-situ monitoring of nitrate levels at the root level, enabling optimal fertilizer application during agricultural activity.Following a series of field trials, our proven and patented technology has shown the ability to decrease fertilizer usage, with no negative implications on the yields, and a dramatic reduction in groundwater pollution.
