Problem
Farmers often lack precise, localized data on crop water requirements, leading to inefficient irrigation practices. Overwatering can deplete resources and harm soil, while underwatering reduces crop yields. Existing irrigation methods often fail to account for field variability, resulting in uneven water distribution and suboptimal outcomes.
Solution
KARL provides a satellite-based irrigation management solution that delivers data-driven water application maps, optimizing water usage and enhancing crop yields. By integrating with existing irrigation machinery and farm management software via APIs, KARL enables automated and targeted irrigation based on localized evapotranspiration (ET) data. The platform factors in the type of irrigation machinery used (hose reel, linear, or pivot) to provide tailored water application maps, ensuring water reaches exactly where it's needed. This approach supports precise and efficient irrigation management, improving soil conditions and promoting sustainable farming practices.
Target Audience
KARL primarily targets farmers and agricultural technology providers seeking to optimize water usage and improve crop yields through precision irrigation management.
Features
- Generation of irrigation maps derived from 20-meter resolution daily evapotranspiration (ET) data
- Localized irrigation mapping tailored to specific irrigation machinery types (hose reel, linear, pivot)
- Seamless integration with irrigation controllers and farm management platforms via APIs
- Automated adjustment of irrigation machinery based on KARL's recommendations
- Integration with the Raindancer Irrigation Management software
