IRIT Canada & Soil Scout Canada :
We recently launched the Happi 100 Wireless Oxygen Sensor.
This wireless soil monitoring solution enables growers and irrigation professionals to understand how soil oxygen influences root health, optimize irrigation management, and enhance overall plant growth conditions.
The Happi100 measures soil oxygen, moisture, and temperature in the root zones at the upper soil structure.
It integrates with other irrigation systems and Soil Scout’s existing platform, offering crucial data about underground conditions.
This approach allows irrigation planners and farmers to apply the right economic measures during the growing seasons.
When soil Oxygen levels drop below 10 percent for just four hours, plant root hairs begin to perish. Our sensor acts as an early warning system, allowing growers to monitor and manage field capacity for example, the impact of adverse weather, including heavy rain, melting snow or Over-irrigation (time/amount), and soil compaction conditions.
Feel free to contact IRIT Canada for more information.
IRIT Canada & Boréal College Forestry Domain in Sudbury, Ontario :
We are delighted to collaborate with Boréal College Forestry Domain in Sudbury, Ontario. IRIT Canada installed state-of-the-art Soil Scout’s wireless soil monitoring and management solutions to support the growing of native plants, from seeding time to planting delivery.
This partnership aligns with our goal to provide our customers with advanced and reliable solutions that promote water management conservation and preservation of the natural environment and help plants grow at a high yield percentage.
The project focuses on native plants grown in greenhouses for restoration and addressing biodiversity at aggregate sites in Northeastern Ontario.
The research team is focused on cultivating and planting to replenish biodiversity and key ecosystem functions, including nutrient cycling, carbon storage, resilience to disturbances, and protection of ground and surface water.
IRIT Canada & Medicine Hat College :
We are happy to be working on a meaningful project.
We installed our soil moisture sensors system at Medicine Hat College (MHC) to measure the required amount of irrigation for the greenery within the campus, along with determining the soil conditions in the nearby native Coulee. This will help estimate the amount of energy and emissions generated from the current practices and aid in further research.
In the campus greenhouse, Medicine Hat College grows native seedlings that are intended to be distributed throughout the City of Medicine Hat; Parks and Urban Forestry where they will thrive the most.
The project’s goal is to cool the surrounding areas and conduct research on the economic benefits of mature trees while reducing emissions.
IRIT Canada & Soil Scout launch new Dual Depth Sensor :
The ground-breaking Dual Depth Sensor (DDS), gives the well-known Soil Scout Hydra sensor an additional sensing head, interconnected with a cable. The master sensor handles all radio communication. It can be buried in shallow ground to provide an excellent range while querying subsoil data from the second sensor deep down in the same hole.
In agriculture, monitoring the root zone conditions of deep-rooted, tall crops such as corn and sugarcane has been limited to very short ranges with regard to the above-ground distance from the sensor to the receiver Now with the transmitting device buried in the topsoil and the second very deep measurement point connected through a cable, the guaranteed wireless range is back up to hundreds of meters, still without any wires hampering fieldwork above ground.
IRIT Canada :
We were proud to sponsor the successful graduation project of software and electrical engineering students from the University of Calgary, Canada.
IRIT Canada Inc. and the Engineering students’ proposed solution aims to substantially reduce operational municipalities’ costs in several key areas, such as water drainage, water delivery, sewage water, subsurface infrastructure maintenance, and emergency response services. To maintain the city’s resources efficiently and cost-effectively, we have developed technology that proactively detects issues in real-time.
This approach will involve using field data and immediate maintenance alerts to help maintenance personnel prioritize their tasks and deploy appropriate resources. Special platforms collect and monitor field data. By doing so, we can prevent disruption to road traffic, pedestrians, and on-the-surface and subsurface infrastructures, as well as reduce emergency municipal service calls in accordance with risk requirements.
IRIT Canada & MS Farms – Go Mango, Puerto Rico:
With 550 acres of diverse mango varieties and a staff of over 200.
The GO MANGO brand consistently yields Keitt (88%) and Tommy Atkins (12%) varieties. 65% of GO MANGOʼs yield is cultivated on young, 15-year-old orchards. The remaining 35% is cultivated on established, 30-year-old orchards. They produce ‘first class’ and ‘second class’ quality-rated mango fruit.
MS Farms sought a solution to monitor and record soil conditions for long-term irrigation best practice fertilizer and management.
The technology that IRIT Canada with Soil Scout was bringing to the operational farms was a perfect fit.
MS FARMS utilizes various models for plant nutrition and implements practices to track soil moisture, temperature and salinity differences.
Monitoring mango plots has become a valuable asset in daily operations.
It helps identify soil conditions, plan work, and yield the best quality. Additionally, it analyzes trends and patterns to address increasing weather challenges.
