Background
Inconsistency in crop yield, due to human errors in fertilization was a major concern for this farm owner. He assigned a worker to manage the fertiliser mixing twice a day. With the SOPs provided to the worker, farm owner still experienced inconsistency in yields and not able to achieve the target weight (per bunch of salad) that he wanted. The owner decided to deploy REDtone Smart Fertigation System in his greenhouse on March 2021 and he is amazed with the result
Data Collected After 3 Weeks
BEFORE
MANUAL FERTILIZER MIXING PROCESS
-
- Fully dependent on workers
- Errors and inconsistency are unavoidable
AFTER
AUTOMATED MIXING PROCESS ACCORDING TO SOPS
-
- Accurate, uniform and precise as per EC target. Crops are well nourished
BEFORE
INCONSISTENCY IN YIELD WEIGHT
-
- Average 200gm to 210gm per bunch of salad
- Unable to increase the weight of crop even after few attempts of adjusting the SOPs
AFTER
YIELD WEIGHT INCREASED BY 50%
-
- Increased from 201g (previous cycle) vs 293gm per bunch of salad
BEFORE
MANUAL EC TARGET CHECKING
- Assigned a worker to manually check the EC target 2 times a day
AFTER
AUTOMATED EC TARGET CHECKING
-
- No manual checking required. All data are monitored via mobile phone and dashboard
