IRRIGATION FEATURES
Know when to trigger your irrigation
Knowing your plants' water requirements is essential for defining when they are at risk of water stress, so you can activate your irrigation at the right time and in the right quantity. With Sencrop and its Irrigation module, you can monitor your soil's water reserves daily, based on your local weather readings.
Water balance and ETP
With the Irricrop pack, you can monitor evapotranspiration (what the plant and soil lose in water) and the water balance in one or more crops. Identify the risk of water stress and anticipate irrigation requirements up to 5 days in advance. The water balance is calculated using data from your stations.
Soil moisture
With the Soilcrop capacitive probe and the irrigation option, you can monitor the temperature and humidity of your soil at 4 different depths, in real time. Identify when you are entering water stress with the soil moisture graph. The balance is measured directly from your soil.
Crop and soil calibration
The reliability of your water stress monitoring graph depends on the calibration you carry out at the start of the season. Crop, soil type, sowing date... Enter this information as accurately as possible. A soil survey may be useful for even greater reliability.
Decision Support Tools (DST)
Link your weather data to your DST for irrigation management. Benefit from personalised monitoring, according to your readings, and make your decisions based on the advice of trusted market players.

Our weather sensors to control your irrigation
At Sencrop, we offer 2 types of solutions and a dedicated option to help you optimise your water inputs. On the one hand, a capacitive sensor that measures the wet temperature at different depths, and on the other, our Irricrop stations that calculate the ETP and water balance of your crops.
Solarcrop
The pyranometer to control irrigation
Irradiance (solar energy)
To be combined with Raincrop and Windcrop stations
Soilcrop
Capacitive probe to control irrigation

FOCUS ON WATER BALANCE
Calculating the risk of water stress
With the Irricrop pack. Your water balance is calculated from the data collected by your sensors (rain, wet temperature, wind, irradiance, etc.). The thresholds can be adjusted according to the agronomic details you provide: crop, soil type, sowing date (growth stages), irrigation, etc. The balance can be calibrated at the start of the season (RU and RFU added).
🟩 Readily usable reserve (RFU): water is easily accessible by the plant, everything's fine!
🟨 Survival reserve (water stress): water is difficult for the plant to access, you are in water stress. Plan your next irrigation!
FOCUS ON THE MOISTURE CURVE
Measure your soil's water requirements
With the Soilcrop station. Your graph is fed by measurements from the sensor in your field.Thresholds adapt according to the agronomic details you provide: soil type, crop, sowing date (growth stages), irrigation... Thresholds can be customised.
🟦 Saturation (RU max): water is no longer retained by the soil (runoff, drainage)
🟩 Water comfort (RFU): water is easily accessible by the plant.
🟨 Vigilance (water stress): water is difficult for the plant to access; you are now in water stress. Plan your next irrigation!
🟥 Extreme water stress (HPF): water is no longer sufficiently available to the plant.

On our blog, find many news articles on agricultural weather, ag-tech, and Sencrop innovations to enlighten you and help you make better decisions every day.
Choosing an irrigation system
The choice of one irrigation system over another is based on several criteria: type of crop, type of soil and economic or environmental factors.
