Irrigation Systems

Strawberry Irrigation Systems

Strawberries are shallow-rooted, high-value and unforgiving with water: they need frequent, precise irrigation and carefully managed fertigation. WiseConn helps strawberry growers deliver exactly that, automating every valve and watering from data, on top of the drip system you already run.

Why precision irrigation matters for strawberries

Strawberry roots are shallow, so the crop has little buffer against water stress or water-logging, and it depends on frequent, light irrigations and tight fertigation, hard to do well on a fixed schedule.

Precision irrigation gives you the continuous data and automated, frequent control that a sensitive, shallow-rooted crop like strawberry needs, block by block and field by field.

Automate your strawberry irrigation with WiseConn

WiseConn brings field hardware and the DropControl platform together into a single system for managing irrigation across your whole operation. Rugged field nodes monitor and control the operation, while DropControl gives you a web dashboard and a mobile app to manage it from anywhere.

  • RF-M1 monitoring node for soil and environmental monitoring across the orchard.
  • RF-V1 valve controller for wireless control of latch valves, block by block.
  • RF-C1 irrigation controller for local control with multiple inputs and relays.
  • RF-X1 monitoring and control for multi-sensor, flexible automation.

DropControl is built on an open architecture, so you can start with monitoring on your current setup and scale to full automation at your own pace.

How it works

  • Field nodes collect soil moisture, weather and system data and send it into DropControl to help make better informed decisions.
  • Data flows to the cloud and is available in real time through the DropControl web platform and mobile app.
  • You define irrigation rules and schedules, and the system runs them automatically, opening and closing valves block by block.
  • Three roles, one platform: irrigators run day-to-day watering from the mobile app, farm managers make decisions and report from the web, and owners track water use and sustainability.

What growers gain

Water savings

Irrigate from real soil and weather data, not a fixed calendar. Growers typically reduce water use by 20 to 40 percent depending on their starting point.

Energy savings

Pump only when the crop needs it and shift watering to lower-cost hours, cutting the energy behind every irrigation cycle.

Labor savings

Replace manual valve operation across dozens of fields with centralized, remote scheduling, so a small team can run the whole operation.
