Phytech’s technology will be integrated with GrowSphere™, Orbia Netafim’s all-in-one irrigation operating system, providing both sets of customers with deeper visibility into their irrigation environment.

Orbia Advance Corporation’s S.A.B. de C.V.  Precision Agriculture business group Netafim announced today a strategic partnership with Phytech LTD, an innovative agtech company known for its plant and tree-based irrigation recommendations. Orbia Netafim is the world’s leading irrigation company creating tailored precision agriculture solutions that help millions of farmers across 110 countries to grow more with lessTM. The partnership will leverage Orbia Netafim’s extensive distribution and service network, providing real-time feedback on in-field irrigation operations and data-driven recommendations to mutual customers.  Phytech has developed a simplified, alert-driven mobile platform, combining predictive algorithms and data analysis tools that integrate continuous crop health and supportive environmental data, distilled into real-time recommendations. By providing clear visibility into tank level, pumps, filters and valves, Phytech’s hydraulic monitoring capabilities enable real-time problem detection and predictive maintenance of a farmer’s irrigation system, creating a speedy response to any issue. Without these “eyes” in the field, growers depend on manually checking key functions or detecting the problem only after the damage has occurred.

Phytech’s technology will be integrated with GrowSphere™, Orbia Netafim’s all-in-one irrigation operating system, providing both sets of customers with deeper visibility into their irrigation environment for faster and more accurate monitoring. The new partnership creates synergy by fully leveraging GrowSphere’s advanced control and automation capabilities, enabling customers to benefit from more precise and responsive irrigation solutions tailored to the specific needs of their crops. These can include the detection of water waste, fertilizer waste or low pressure, all of which cause system malfunctions and incur additional costs.  

GrowSphere has delivered significant benefits to farmers for a multitude of crops and across varying topographies during the last year. Since initial fertigation periods, GrowSphere has proven to boost value per hectare by improving operational efficiency and providing reliable implementation for growers at all stages of their irrigation and fertigation journey.

“Having worked closely with Phytech over the years, we have seen their technology’s impressive impact on growers worldwide and we are excited to embark on this partnership,” said Ofer Oveed, SVP Technology and Crops, Orbia Precision Agriculture (Netafim). “By integrating Phytech’s technology with our GrowSphere operating system, we will enhance our technology portfolio, providing better support and visibility for our growers. This collaboration aligns with our commitment to advancing precision irrigation and delivering superior solutions to our customers.”

Phytech’s CEO Oren Kind remarked, “Our technology’s initial success was driven by its ability to tackle key challenges faced by farmers, including offering valuable support in agronomic decisions and real-time monitoring of their hydraulic systems. By teaming up with Netafim, a global leader in precision irrigation, we are poised to extend the reach of our technology worldwide. This partnership marks a major milestone for our company and will assist growers in initiating a crucial digital transformation towards more sustainable and efficient agricultural practices.”

Rivulis will integrate its cloud-based precision irrigation subsidiary, Manna, into Phytech.

In a pivotal advance for the agricultural technology industry, Rivulis, a global climate and irrigation leader, and Phytech, a pioneer in digital farming solutions, are excited to announce their new strategic partnership. This collaboration represents a major step forward in sustainable farming, combining Rivulis’ global presence and leadership in micro irrigation products and solutions with Phytech’s cutting-edge real-time plant health and hydraulic monitoring and automation technology.

Rivulis, recognized for enhancing irrigation efficiency and boosting productivity across diverse farming environments, will integrate its cloud-based precision irrigation subsidiary, Manna, into Phytech. Phytech’s data driven approach, initially focused on aiding agronomic decision-making through real-time plant/tree health monitoring, has gradually expanded into real time hydraulic monitoring and automation of grower’s irrigation and fertigation infrastructure, providing farmers with a comprehensive view of their entire irrigation and fertigation system and further improving efficiency and sustainability.

This integration enables farmers to optimize plant performance and resource usage with unprecedented accuracy and simplicity, setting a new standard in the ag-tech sector. By merging Phytech’s detailed, sensor-based field data with Manna’s spatial remote sensing capabilities, farmers will gain unparalleled monitoring and insights into their crops, irrigation systems, and fields, alongside actionable irrigation recommendations and closed-loop system automation. The integration of Manna into Phytech also includes the Jain Logic and Observant offerings in the USA and Australia, respectively.

This strategic alliance also solidifies Rivulis’ role as a shareholder in Phytech and expands the reach of Phytech’s advanced solutions across Rivulis’ extensive global retail network and turnkey project channels, aiming to accelerate global agriculture technology adoption. Phytech’s technology can also enable irrigation dealers to enrich their service to growers with a data driven proactive approach. Rivulis will continue to offer additional solutions such as ReelView, the free, cloud-based crop and field monitoring application, in conjunction with its products.

Rivulis’ CEO, Richard Klapholz, stated, “This partnership marks a pivotal moment for us at Rivulis as we join forces with Phytech to drive unprecedented advancements in agricultural technology. The integration of ReelView and Manna within Phytech enables a seamless digital journey for farmers, providing a tiered approach for farmers to integrate increasingly sophisticated ag-tech capabilities into their operations. Together, we are setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability in farming practices worldwide.”

Phytech’s CEO, Oren Kind remarked, “Our initial success in encouraging growers to adopt technology stemmed from addressing real needs, such as alleviating the loneliness of agronomic decision-making and enabling growers a real-time problem detection in their hydraulic systems. To make this initial success affect agriculture on a global scale requires us to partner with world leaders. Being chosen by Rivulis, one of the global leaders in the irrigation world, as their technology partner, is a significant milestone that will accelerate our ability to scale globally, helping growers embark on a much-needed digital transformation toward more sustainable and efficient practices”.

Manna’s CEO Hoav Lapidot added, “Joining hands with Phytech allows us to expand our technological capabilities and reach. Our shared vision for a smarter, better way of farming is now significantly closer to widespread adoption.”
