  5. Ben Gurion: a new perspective on Water and Science((Sede Boqer 1955 • “The prophets in the Bible never accepted the droughts of the Negev and envisioned that one day “water will flow out of the desert and streams from the Aravavalley.” • “It is here in the Negev that scientists and researchers are faced with the challenge of transforming sea water into fresh water”..

  26. AgrifectFertigation Control & Management March 2008 26

  27. The Need - Filed Crops • Optimize Water usages (Irrigation) • Optimize Fertilization usages • Improving (Quantity & Quality) yields • Saving costs. • Comply with agriculture standards (EurepGAP etc.) • Minimize detrimental environmental – Aquifer Pollution 27

  28. The Problem • Mass labor procedures (manual) aimed at meeting the “Repeatability” test. • No available agronomic consultant support • Analyze Test Results - knowledge gap. • Many years of habit (Culture) • Currently Fertigation price is not too high • None Standards Bodies Enforcement 28

  29. Agrifect Mission Delivery of a comprehensive solution An automatic Sampling, Monitoring (i.e. NO3, EC), and Farmer Fertilization recommendation to the Precision Farming market. 29

  30. Potential Market • Crops required chemical fertigation in: • regular soil • combined media (soil and substrate) • Millions of farmers worldwide 30
