Improve irrigation efficiency with the Crop X Evato sensor from Reinke
Price on request
Description
The innovative CropX Evato sensor, exclusively offered by Reinke and mounted at the pivot point of center-pivot irrigation systems, provides real-time measurement of Actual Evapotranspiration (ETₐ), the exact water consumption by crops and loss from the soil over a broad field area.
This measured ET data eliminates reliance on regional estimates or modelled values, empowering farmers to irrigate with precision and sustainability.
The technology leverages surface-renewal sensing, developed originally at UC-Davis, detecting subtle water-vapour fluctuations just above the canopy to capture dynamic plant water use
Successful Farming. When integrated with soil-moisture sensor readings, it delivers a "roots-to-shoots" view of soil water availability and actual plant consumption, enabling smarter irrigation planning and variable-rate scheduling via the CropX platform.
Growers report measurable benefits: studies show up to 15% water savings alongside improved yields, minimal maintenance requirements, and a one-time installation that covers entire pivots, making the Evato sensor both cost-effective and scalable.
