WIRIS Agro R - Crop Water Stress Index Camera
The Workswell WIRIS Agro R is the first device of its kind. Designed to map water stress across large areas, the Agro has a critical role to play in the field of precision agriculture. The device facilitates the determination of the water stress value in a given stand of plants. This information can then be used to determine yield maps, optimize irrigation, and fine-tune water management strategies.
CROP DROUGHT
ACTUAL AND REAL VALUE
In the dry season, precision farmers want to measure the actual effect of drought on their crops. However, this can be difficult to identify. For example, crops may respond differently to drought if they have access to groundwater, and each plant has a different root system. These factors make it hard to tell how much a particular crop might be suffering during a given drought. That’s where the WIRIS Agro comes in. This thermal camera makes real-time measurements of the actual effects of drought on a crop.
