Problem
Growers often lack real-time visibility and control over irrigation systems, leading to inefficient water usage, crop variability, and increased operational costs. Traditional irrigation management relies on manual monitoring and reactive adjustments, failing to optimize water delivery based on actual plant needs and environmental conditions.
Solution
Verdi provides a precision irrigation automation platform that integrates wireless soil moisture sensors with existing farm infrastructure, enabling growers to optimize water usage and improve crop yield. The system connects valves, pumps, and injectors to a centralized, user-friendly platform, allowing growers to control, automate, and monitor their assets remotely. By providing real-time soil moisture data and integrating with weather forecasts, Verdi enables automated irrigation programs that respond dynamically to changing field conditions. The platform also supports variable rate irrigation and fertigation, allowing for precise application of water and nutrients at the plant level.
Target Audience
Verdi targets vineyards, orchards, berry farms, and research/breeding operations seeking to optimize irrigation, reduce water consumption, and improve crop yields through precision automation.
