inception LEAF-SEN has developed revolutionary irrigation
controller utilizing state-of-the-art technology. The LEAF-SEN
product is an innovative irrigation controller, triggered by a
unique leaf-thickness-sensor that accurately and continuously
assesses leaf turgor. This information is monitored and processed
by the irrigation controller, and translated into an irrigation
regime that applies water as a real time reaction to incipient
water stress.
LEAF-SEN is developing an irrigation system which will not only
optimize the control of water flow in the field but also will
feed the irrigation system the proper amount of water and/or
fertilization level according to the physical condition of the
irrigated crops.
The development follows an intensive research performed by Prof.
Bravdo and Dr. Sharon for several years. A study was made to
characterize the need for water as a function of some physical,
sensible attributes of the irrigated plant. The advantage of
this product relative to existing irrigation control system is
that a Real Time evaluation is done by the system with regard to
the necessity of water at the plant level ( "the end user").
Field tests performed for several years with different types
revealed a substantial saving in the water quantity while
increasing crop yield by at least 30%.
Main Advantages of the developed system:
* Water is supplied with full automation according to the real
time need of the crops.
* Savings and efficiency are achieved
* The system can sense specific properties of the plant and
subsequently respond with appropriate water and fertilization to
control unique behavioral features of the crops.
The company's headquarter is in Kibbutz Givat Hayim Ichud.
