Companies unveil digital integration to streamline irrigation management

Digital farm management provider CropX Technologies has unveiled an API integration with WiseConn to improve data gathering and analytics for farmers.

WiseConn users will be able to seamlessly incorporate the CropX system into their precision irrigation network, according to a news release. WiseConn irrigation systems are used throughout North and South America, Europe and Australia. 

“This collaboration with CropX strengthens our commitment to providing farmers with the tools they need to make informed decisions and optimize their irrigation practices," Vicente Ossa, marketing manager at WiseConn, said in the release. "By combining our expertise in precise irrigation management with CropX's technology, we believe this integration has the potential to enhance irrigation management and contribute to a more sustainable future for agriculture."

CropX's agronomic farm management system incorporates farm data from sensors, satellites, rain gauges and farm machinery into an advanced analytics platform to optimize decision-making and crop management, the release said. With the integration of WiseConn's smart irrigation system, dual CropX and WiseConn users will now have easy access to as-applied data, including irrigation and fertilization records, directly within the CropX platform.

WiseConn users will access CropX’s agronomically sound decision support for dynamic irrigation scheduling. This will allow farmers to move away from static schedules and instead personalize irrigation based on real-time conditions, optimizing water usage for each crop and field, the release said.

By combining advanced data analysis and automated irrigation control, WiseConn and CropX said they anticipate significant benefits for growers, including reduced water usage, increased crop yields and enhanced resource management.
