Work SMART! Technical Features and Advantages

New Savings & Profits

The SMART! software is simple to install and use, yet sophisticated in its extensive multi-tasking:

The versatility of the SMART! software package enables growers to realize new levels of savings and profits in all types of crops and orchards. Even a 10 percent reduction in fertilizer use can net up to $2000 savings per hectare per year, and Smart! s report an average of 30-40 percent or even more. In fact, one rose grower using SMART! reported a savings of $8000 a month in fertilizer costs, which started from the first day. The potential profits of intensive fertilization techniques (greenhouses and hydroponics), specialty crops (flowers and vegetables), organic farming, landscape maintenance (golf courses, parks) and exotic horticulture (botanical gardens) are all easier to achieve, thanks to SMART! capability.

New Efficiency Smart! accommodates the full range of fertigation goals, which can be planned in minutes rather than days of labor-intensive manual calculation. SMART! algorithms help to monitor and manage changing water quality, conflicting needs of different crops and other challenges, balancing the complex mix of nutrients in soil, water and fertilizers to increase the yield in quantity and quality. A further innovation in SMART! is its module for fertigation cost analysis, which enables stronger budget control and better long-term planning.

Custom-Designed Solutions Responds to queries with the ideal fertilization formula, or "recipe". Each recipe takes into fertilizer compatibilities, solubility limits and interaction. Outputs are adjusted to capabilities (number/size of stock tanks, injector rates, irrigation flow) and water conditions (temperature, quality).

Water Quality and Soil Content Forecasts EC, pH, SAR, TDS, nutrient ratios and other relevant parameters. Automatically converts unit measurements on demand (ion forms, concentrations and amounts). Prevents water problems (salinity, sodium, emitter clogging potential). Integrates multiple water sources. Optimizes water quality in recycling systems. Interprets soil tests for comprehensive solutions.

Cost Analysis and Savings Enables s to enter and analyze current fertilizer prices for cost/benefit. Recommends the most cost-effective mix of fertilizers. Eliminates waste of fertilizers. Analyzes nutrient costs.

Balances all plant nutrients using proprietary mathematical and chemical algorithms. Calculates fertilizer rates and nutrient ratios. Makes optimal use of fertilizers available in stock, based on crop data and lab test results.

Fertilizers application

New Simplicity SMART! is elegantly easy to use:

Enter data for water quality, irrigation methods, soil composition and crop data. The software returns a complete fertigation "recipe", with optimal nutrients recommended in precise nutrient balance. Follow the schedule for distribution into fertilizer stock tanks and application.

The automatic result:

Waste-free, error-free fertigation that not only increases yield and profits, but keeps irrigation lines clog-free, and safeguards the environment, all at the same time!

New Environmental Benefits With SMART! management of fertilizers, growers can be confident of doing their part in protecting the local ecosystem. SMART! automatic prevention of over/under fertilization has a positive environmental impact: it keeps fertilizers from leaching into ground water and surface water sources, and it preserves soil structure. All this is accomplished while reducing costs and increasing yield.

Built-in Warning System Water hazards (salinity, sodium). Low buffer capacity. Emitter clogging potential. Fertilizer incompatibility and solubility limits.

Data Storage and Utilization Manages and analyzes -entered data on water and soil test results. Tracks vital statistics on fertilizer consumption, nutrient costs and water content. Presents results in reports, graphs and charts. Enables long-term fertilization program planning.

The SMART! system covers the entire spectrum in today's agro market: All types of irrigation and fertilization systems (fertigation, hydroponics, sprinklers, driplines). All kinds of soils and growing media. Any size of business, with any blend of growing environments. SMART! is the only fertigation solution you will ever need! A single Smart! system can handle a medium to large enterprise with no maximum limit, and the scalable software architecture enables Smart! to grow along with your business. The dynamic SMART! data base can be edited and expanded by s for individual needs, local fertilizers, private formulas and experimental research. Advanced SMART! expertise is continuously available through personalized consultations and online technical .
