CropX Technologies announced the launch of Reinke Direct ET™ by CropX, a sensor-based innovation that provides Actual Evapotranspiration (ETa) measurements on a Reinke center pivot irrigation system.

The product is available exclusively through Reinke.

By measuring the amount of water that crops use, Reinke Direct ET gives farmers daily insights into their crop's water needs, enabling informed irrigation decisions.

CropX is also releasing its Actual ET sensor, a device that can be installed in any field to measure ETa. In combination with a CropX soil sensor as part of the CropX agronomic farm management system, users will have access to accurate water-plant usage and soil water availability metrics. 

"Precision agriculture is crucial for modern farming. This collaboration with Reinke Irrigation allows us to deliver solutions that help farmers optimize their water usage. Our new Actual ET devices can ensure pivot and non-pivot growers can access the same level of detail,” said Tomer Tzach, CEO of CropX.

The underlying ET measurement technology was developed by Tule Technologies, which was acquired by CropX in January 2023.
