Case Studies
U.S. Case Study 1: Precision Corn Farming in Iowa
A large-scale corn farming operation in Iowa implemented Enviro Testers’s solar-powered soil moisture sensors across multiple zones. Using real-time data, the grower achieved a 28% reduction in water usage and a 15% yield increase within one season, all while reducing irrigation-related labor by over 40%.
U.S. Case Study 2: Urban Green Space Management in California
A municipal authority in Northern California integrated Enviro Testers sensors into its smart landscaping system for parks and city gardens. The system helped reduce water consumption by over 30% during summer months and maintained greener, healthier turf without manual irrigation guesswork.
Canadian Case Study: Greenhouse Cultivation in Ontario
A commercial greenhouse in Ontario adopted Enviro Testers’s wireless moisture sensors to monitor substrate moisture in high-value vegetable crops. The result was improved plant uniformity, 25% fertilizer savings, and a streamlined irrigation strategy that enhanced overall yield quality.
