NESS Fertigation
NESS Fertigation breaks the glass ceiling of agricultural yields. Our fertigation platform enhances fertilizer absorption & increases yield by 30%-70% & reduces environmental damage caused by run-off fertilizer
About Us
Current fertigation practices are imprecise, leading to fertilizer overuse, high plant stress and environmental damage. The lack of knowledge leads to farmers regarding the soil as a bucket and pouring fertilizer in using a one-fit-all solution. With current fertigation practices over 50% of fertilizer leeches into the ground that leads to GHG emissions and water contamination.
Our solution of the problem consists of:
1. A fertigation system that applies our innovative fertigation technique
2. Soil and plant sensors to monitor the plant needs
3. A control algorithm that automates the process and changes fertilizer output based on the field needs
This increases fertilizer absorption and has a dramatic effect on yield (POC have shown 30%-70% increase).
Overall, there is a reduction in the amount of input resources and a reduction in the amount of fertilizer that leeches into the ground.
Relevant Challenges
Reduce Land Footprint
Our product increases the yield of agricultural fields by 30-70%, this will allow reducing the neccessary cultivated area to produce the same amount of fruits and vegetables.
Reduce Emissions
Our product reduces the amount of fertilizer that is runoff into the ground. Runoff fertilizer causes emission of N2O which is a powerful GHG gas with GWP of 298.
