AutoAgronom - A Proven Sustainable Concept
An Efficient Tool for Roots-Research - The Roots Do the Work

The plants` growing strategy is linked to the environmental conditions. They act as climatic, chemical, and biological `sensors`, and react to the environmental conditions by their growth pattern. Yet, their growth pattern depends on secondary-roots presence, and their ability to absorb, transport and supply soil-solution and oxygen to the plant`s organs. Regardless the natural rhythms of the plants physiological-activities, growers of `Intensive-crops` adhere to predefined irrigation schedules and irrigate with excessive water and quantities of fertilizers. These excessive quantities eliminate oxygen presence in the roots’ volume, create ‘salinity conditions’, damage the roots, moderate the plants growth and decrease the yields, while "Natural-resources" are wasted, and the growers do not meet the income potential.

Moreover, millions of tons of excess fertilizers are programmed to leak from intensive agricultural areas.

Synchronized with the plant’s actions, the Israeli computerized "AutoAgronom" irrigation control system (`AA)`, creates and preserves in the roots media, 24 hours a day, the optimal-ratios of water, oxygen and minerals for the secondary roots and the roots-hairs` activities. It controls, automatically, the physical and the chemical parameters that affect the roots, while the plants execute the Photosynthesis and the Translocation of its products to the plants` growing-sites. `AA` controlled-plants efficiently utilize the vital elements C, H, & O that exist for free in the air and in the water. It supplies small water quantities (15 - 60cc) back to the sites from where the water was taken, following the real quantities used by the plants. Consequently, the optimal roots` growth saves 40% of the water, 70% of the fertilizers, increases production & quality, and reduces soil and aquifers salinity.
