In collaboration with CABUD and Sembrador Capital, Ceres held a field day at the Novacer cherry orchard, located in Linares. The activity, aimed at clients, aimed to offer comprehensive training, combining theory and practice, on the detection of irrigation problems through the use of technologies associated with precision agriculture.
Valentín Maldonado, a member of the Ceres team, commented on the experience: “We started in the office, analyzing the information provided by the service we have as Ceres Imaging, in which we found linear patterns associated with possible irrigation problems and later, we analyzed with crosses made during the season, thanks to Drop Control telemetry, where we checked the flow rates and humidity sensors, in order to detect whether there was an irrigation problem, which was detected both in images and in telemetry, so we went directly to the field, where we analyzed valves and emitters in the sector where the problem was found. The valve was poorly regulated, so it was regulated and left to precipitate what was necessary.”
In addition to addressing the problems detected, participants had the opportunity to visit the irrigation house, where Ceres Imaging experts offered a detailed explanation of the essential components of this infrastructure, such as the pump, filter, pressure gauges, rotary washing controllers and flow meter.
"We teach our customers how to manipulate, inspect, control and detect problems in irrigation sheds," added Sebastian Divin, customer success at Ceres Imaging.
The day was characterized by a practical and participatory approach, providing attendees with tools and knowledge to optimize the use of technology in the efficient management of irrigation in their crops.
