AREAS OF APPLICATION

Vegetable Crops

In horticultural farming, efficient irrigation and fertilization management are essential to maximize yield and prevent losses. Our sensors enable:

  • Real-time soil moisture monitoring, ensuring irrigation is adjusted to meet crop needs.
  • Prevention of water stress and nutrient leaching, reducing fertilizer losses.
  • Optimized irrigation scheduling for crops such as tomato, pepper, lettuce, and strawberry.

Applied in crops such as Swiss chard, lettuce, tomato, pepper, cauliflower, artichoke, squash, and legumes (green beans, alfalfa) across regions including Aragón, Navarra, Murcia, Valencia, Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha, as well as the United States and the United Arab Emirates.
Savings exceeding 50% have been achieved in certain installations.

Cereal Crops

In extensive crops such as wheat, corn, and barley, our sensors provide precise soil moisture monitoring, enabling:

  • Optimized pivot irrigation, preventing unnecessary watering in areas with adequate moisture.
  • Maximized water efficiency, adapting to different soil textures within the same field.
  • Early detection of water deficiencies, allowing proactive management before they impact crop yield.

Mainly applied in corn and wheat cultivation, with proven results in Aragón and the United Arab Emirates.

Perennial Crops

Efficient irrigation management in perennial crops such as olive, almond, grapevine, citrus, and avocado is essential to maximize yield while preventing water waste and nutrient leaching. Our system allows for:

  • Soil moisture measurement at the root zone, ensuring precise irrigation volumes.
  • Avoiding water deficits during critical fruit development stages.
  • Reducing water stress and preventing moisture-related diseases, tailored to each crop type.

Applied in apple, almond, walnut, citrus, kiwi, avocado, and date palm cultivation across regions including Girona, Lleida, Aragón, Navarra, Castilla-La Mancha, Valencia, Málaga, and the United Arab Emirates.

Golf Course Turf Management

Maintaining high-quality turf on golf courses requires precise irrigation to ensure optimal playing conditions while minimizing water waste. HYDROBALL® enables:

  • Real-time soil moisture monitoring across different course areas, from greens to fairways.
  • Detection of moisture excess or deficits, allowing for targeted irrigation adjustments.
  • Water savings and reduced operational costs without compromising turf quality.
  • Soil temperature monitoring, correlating with moisture levels to anticipate fungal growth and other turf diseases.

Implemented in Navarra, Cantabria, Cádiz, Sevilla, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria.

Football Field Turf Management

The turf in stadiums and training fields must be kept in optimal playing conditions. HYDROBALL® helps to:

  • Adjust irrigation based on real-time soil moisture, preventing dry spots or waterlogging.
  • Maintain turf quality year-round, adapting to seasonal variations.
  • Reduce water and fertilizer consumption through more efficient management.

Professional gardening

Efficient water management in urban green spaces is essential for sustainability. With HYDROBALL®, park and garden managers can:

  • Monitor soil moisture to prevent unnecessary irrigation.
  • Adapt watering schedules to the real needs of each park zone.
  • Reduce costs and improve irrigation system efficiency.

Implemented in the City of Pamplona, university campuses in Navarra and Aragón, hotel resorts in the Canary Islands, and public parks and gardens in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Composting

Proper moisture and temperature control is crucial for producing high-quality compost. HYDROBALL® enables:

  • Real-time monitoring of moisture and temperature in compost piles.
  • Optimization of aeration and turning based on ideal decomposition conditions.
  • Reduced processing time and improved final compost quality.

Implemented in industrial composting plants in Castilla-La Mancha, Navarra, and Aragón, as well as in community composting sites.

Environmental Monitoring & Water Quality Management

Beyond agriculture, HYDROBALL® is a key tool for environmental monitoring and water quality management in soils and sensitive ecosystems. It enables:

  • Detection of abnormal moisture levels in soils at risk of erosion.
  • Monitoring of water infiltration and retention in reforestation and ecological restoration projects.
  • Assessment of potential soil contamination in urban or industrial areas.
