Next
generation of ultra-precise dosing solutions uses AI to help farmers optimize
resource use, reduce costs, protect crop quality and yield
Mumbai: Netafim,
Orbia’s Precision Agriculture business the global leader in precision
irrigation solutions, announced the launch of its 5th Generation AI-Enabled
Automated Dosing 5G product range. The new range is designed to enable optimal
fertigation management through advanced AI-powered automated dosing technology,
along with intuitive remote control and monitoring capabilities. The suite of
updated dosing products includes FertiKit™ 5G, FertiOne™ 5G, NetaJet™ 5G and
NetaFlex™ 5G.
The Dosing 5G range by Netafim brings together advanced
nutrient management technology and a simple, farmer-friendly design. Built for
both open-field crops and protected cultivation, the system uses self-learning
AI to precisely regulate nutrient delivery based on crop requirements, ensuring
balanced application that enhances yield and improves crop quality while
preventing overuse. By optimizing fertilizer, water and energy consumption,
Dosing 5G lowers input costs and reduces operational effort, while promoting
responsible farming practices. It also helps minimize nutrient runoff and
groundwater contamination, supporting long-term soil and water sustainability.
The complete Dosing 5G portfolio integrates seamlessly with GrowSphere,
Netafim’s all-in-one digital platform, allowing growers to plan, monitor and
manage irrigation and fertigation through a single interface. With customizable
multi-channel control, farmers benefit from greater precision and automation
across the entire crop cycle — from planting to harvest.
Mr. Vikas Sonawane, Chief
Operating Officer at Netafim Irrigation India Pvt Ltd,
said that “Farmers in India face rising input costs, water scarcity,
inconsistent nutrient dosing and limited real-time visibility, often leading to
wastage, uneven crop growth and lower profitability. Addressing these
challenges, Netafim has introduced Dosing 5G. “This AI-powered solution brings
precision, automation and remote monitoring to fertigation management, ensuring
optimal nutrient delivery with minimal manual effort. By improving dosing
accuracy and water-use efficiency, it helps enhance crop quality, strengthen
farm profitability and support sustainable water management, enabling Indian
farmers to make every drop and nutrient count.”
The Dosing 5G Product Range Includes:
·
FertiKit™ 5G - A highly flexible and customizable fertigation dosing
system designed specifically for open fields or orchards with nine models that
can be configured by dosing type, channels, flow, pressure range, tank setup
(even acid), energy source and water source to match setup and budget.
·
FertiOne™ 5G - A simple and effective solution for bulk fertigation,
featuring a single-channel dosing system for even application and a fast,
plug-and-play installation.
·
NetaJet™ 5G - An ultra-responsive EC/pH stabilization for sensitive
crops or short irrigation cycles with adaptive dosing control, requiring no
manual calibration or expert intervention.
·
NetaFlex™ 5G - An advanced uniform fertigation dosing system that uses
an open tank mixing system for accurate fertilizer application and features
ultra-precise stabilization powered by EC/pH dual sensors.
Dosing 5G solutions have
already been deployed, with early results already demonstrating significant
improvements in customer experience and efficiency. These findings validate the
system as a powerful solution for achieving higher yields, better-quality
crops, reduced nutrient runoff, and minimized environmental impact.
