Press Release
ClearAg’s EvapoSmart and IMFocus APIs to Power Field and Turf Irrigation Management
“Irrigation management requires continual analysis of a complex array of
factors from weather and soil conditions to land topography, plant type
and crop maturity,” said
EvapoSmart API can:
- Deliver historical and predictive weather information for any location globally utilizing a proprietary analysis and forecasting system developed by ClearAg
- Provide all the irrigation-specific weather insights needed for water budget calculations in a single call
- Return insights including reference evapotranspiration, crop coefficients, crop potential evapotranspiration, precipitation amount, and other parameters that are useful for standard water budget calculations
IMFocus API can:
- Track all sources and sinks of water for the plant root zone, including irrigation activity by hardware type
- Predict when soil moisture values will reach sensitive and critical levels in the root zone
- Take into account soil texture class, plant growth, and terrain information to come up with a holistic solution that optimizes irrigation decisions
- Provide irrigation recommendations, energy cost, water cost, energy usage, water usage, and water allocation utilization on a per irrigation event basis
ClearAg’s EvapoSmart and IMFocus APIs are built upon Iteris’ proprietary
data processing, analytics, and land surface modeling. In addition,
IMFocus API incorporates ClearAg Focus™, Iteris’ advanced land surface
modeling technology. Using inputs specific to the user’s location and
crop growing conditions, ClearAg Focus employs advanced modeling of the
physical processes occurring within the soil to determine vital data
like soil moisture, soil temperature, and the vertical movement of
soluble nutrients within the soil, overcoming the need for an extensive
network of sensors. This allows for a cost-effective, highly scalable,
zero-maintenance, and reliable source of information throughout the root
zone of the growing plants, across multiple management zones, and over
user-selectable time frames out to ten days into the future. For more
