Orbia Advance Corporation's precision agriculture business, Netafim, announced the launch of GrowSphere FLEX, a smart irrigation and fertigation controller developed to bring professional digital farming capabilities to smallholders and mid-sized farmers.
The FLEX controller has built-in cellular connectivity and flexible configurations to enable irrigation automation across different crops, field layouts and farm needs. Through GrowSphere Workspace, growers can remotely manage irrigation and fertigation, monitor field and system performance with sensors, reports and alerts, and use cloud-based insights to make more timely operational decisions. The company's Crop Advisor also adds crop-stage-based recommendations.
FLEX can be used across open fields, orchards, vineyards, citrus, greenhouses and nurseries and is being introduced through a phased global rollout. To learn more, click here.
