A new expert software for a comprehensive nutrigation program operated over the Web Offered to all fertilization experts, worldwide
Aimed to combine most nutrition & irrigation factors of any cropping system into an interactive retrievable detailed data-base
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net I Operation platform: Over the Web, exclusively To enable streamlined updating process while avoiding the need to send updating files
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net II International: • Multi- lingual, currently: English & SpanishOther common languages to follow • Supporting most common units * • Mass: metric ton, lb , bushel • Area: hectare, rai, dunam , acre (feddan), mu* currently, operational on two main stages
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net III Ready nutrition functions of 80 common crops: • 20 Vegetable crops: beans, cucumbers, carrot, lettuce, melon, pepper, squash, tomatoes, etc. • 20 Field crops: cotton, maize, pineapple, rice, soybean, sugar-beets, tobacco, etc. • 20 Fruit trees: apple, vineyard, oranges, grapefruits, nectarine, olive, peach, pears, prunes, etc. • 20 Subtropical & tropical crops: banana, café, durian, guava, kiwi, litchi, mango, papaya, etc.
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net III Ready nutrition functions: Recommendations are formulated considering several growth conditions: • Open field, • Tunnels, • Greenhouse a broad range of yieldsto fit all local growth conditions
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net IV Three levels of soil data to amend original recommendations by soil- and water analyses • Only basic information available:Mean annual rainfall, soil type, soil pH • Intermediate level of information :The A/M data + % clay, % active lime, % organic matter, P, EC, extract parameters: NO3, K, Ca, Mg • Highly detailed information available:The A/M data + analytic determination of K, Ca, Mg, Na & C.E.C
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net V Very rich data-bases that can serve the user: • Literature references closest to local conditions:A wealth of data characterizing nutrient uptake at a variety of growth conditions. • Crop growth cases: A wealth of data characterizing the phenological stages of the crop and ETp data. • Sufficiency ranges of leaf Mineral analysis • Photos of nutrient deficiency symptoms
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net V Very rich data-bases that can serve the user: • Very rich data-bases that can serve the user: • Agro-meteorological data-bank: A wealth of data characterizing climatic conditions at a large variety of meteorological stations worldwide. • Select between a variety of irrigation equipment and field parameters
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net VI • Step by step developmentof the nutrition recommendations by taking into account all growth- and agrotechnical conditions • Status reportcan be produced at any stage and sent to a remote location by e-mail, fax, etc.
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net VII The nutrition scheme is built by stages, in accordance with the irrigation method: • Pre-plant application • Side / top dressing or Nutrigation™ (fertigation) • Foliar feeding Nutrigation means combining irrigation with the application of pure fertilizers that contain nutrientsexclusively
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net VII If the nutrition program is based on Nutrigation, application program is further specifying relevant growth phases & daysYet, the user can, at any stage overrule the recommendations by his own preferences
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net VIII A comprehensive irrigation program is built in accordance with: Crop-specific water requirements, further specifying growth phases Irrigation method and equipment available to the grower Structure of root zone and water retention of the soil Local agro-meteorological conditions Irrigation intervals and doses
Main features of HaifaNutri-Net IX A detailed nutrigation program is built in accordance with all previously mentioned parameters:
Let’s practice step by step…
step by step… progress order
Haifa Nutri-Net: step 1 • Select crop-group & crop - pepper • Select growth method: greenhouse • Fill in expected yield:70 ton / ha • Hit:Enter
Haifa Nutri-Net: step 1 • Nutrition data are filled automatically • Units can be selected • Save data
Haifa Nutri-Net: step 2 – Input of soil data • INPUT • Select by soil data availability • Fill in soil data • Enter
step 2 – consequent updated recommendations default • OUTPUT • Assessment of soil fertility • updated recommendations updated
Haifa - Nutri-Net : step 3- fertilization • Select irrigation method Either or • Select fertilization method during growing season
Haifa - Nutri-Net : step 3 • Dripping was selected • Nutrigation was selected
Haifa - Nutri-Net : step 3- fertilization It’s now the time to produce the Base – Dressing scheme
A Base dressing scheme is built by : • A best fit formula, based on common fertilizersor by ……… • Free choice between many raw materials
Step 4- producing a Nutrigation program: I Defining crop growth stagesIa Finding similar growth conditions in a database Major Growth phases
Step 4- producing a Nutrigation program: II Crop- & field- specific data are introduced by growth stages Root system profile Growth phases & irrigation parameters
Step 4- producing a Nutrigation program: II Crop- & field- specific data are introduced by growth stages Field- specific irrigation parameters
Step 5- producing an irrigation program: locating similar agro-meteorological conditions in database Continents Regions
Step 5- producing an irrigation program: Full agro-meteorological details of the location selected in the database
Step 5- producing an irrigation program: The agro-meteorological conditions are inserted in the crop water- requirement table
Step 5- producing an irrigation program: A detailed irrigation table is proposed
Step 6- producing a nutrigation program: Previously agreed- upon nutrients are recalled and expressed as fully soluble products
Step 6- producing a nutrigation program:The nutrients are allocated by growth stages
Step 6- producing a nutrigation program:The products are allocated by growth stages
Step 6- producing a nutrigation program:Total Fertilizers concentrations in the irrigation water is worked out by growth stages
