Plants are affected quickly by changes in water salinity rate. Because of this, averaging fertilization is not effective. Furthermore, regular pumps have over 50% fertilizers leakage into the ground without being used by the plants. Soils with a high concentration of fertilizers and of salts stress the plants and affect their vitality. As a result, yields are greatly impacted causing less production.
NESS Fertigation is based on innovative fertigation principles coupled to a unique system that reduces fertilizer-induced plants stress. The core of our innovation is in the pumps system that enhances fertilizers absorption at each growing stage of the plants. Additionally, we use several solar-powered soil sensors at varying depths to detect how much fertilizers and water to use, or to check if correct amounts of fertilizers and water are present in the soil.
The use of multiple soil sensors allows for measuring the time that water travels from the surface to the plant’s roots. With these information, the timing of an irrigation period can be adjusted rapidly as the system changes quantities and timing by itself.

NESS Fertigation system
Fertigation pumps
The pumps are designed to apply our innovative fertigation principles
Controller
Wireless controllers collect real time data from soil sensors and operational sensors
Cloud computing
Data is analyzed using developed algorithms to determine fertilizer quantity and timing. Pumps are adjusted accordingly
Basic NESS platform
The NESS system pumps and mixing tanks are placed at the irrigation head. The system will control the fertilizer supply while the irrigation control is in the hand of the farmer.
Our basic system is designed to work on one field of one crop type.
Specifications:
Maximum water flow: 25 m3/h
Operating pressure: 2-6 Bars
Maximum fertilizer supply: 3 liter per m3/h
No need for electric infrastructure
If neccessary, the system can be designed to work on multiple fields and crops or with higher fertilizer supply. Contact us for more details on your specific needs
A sensor array will be installed within each field. Our basic sensor kit includes soil sensors, plant sensors and environmental sensors.
With the data from the sensors, the system will detect the fertilizer needs of the plants and will adjust the pump system automatically to comply with the changing needs of the plant.
If required, we are able to incorporate more sensors depending on your needs.
NESS Services
Your NESS system will always be in good hands. NESS team will constantly monitor the system, informing you of potential problems. In case of any technical difficulty, our team will arrive to fix any problem in order that your plants will continue to receive the best fertigation possible.
Our platform can also control the irrigation of the field, either through a pre-determined program or through our system algorithm. If requested, NESS system can give a complete irrigation-fertigation solution
Other needs
Our system is still in development and we welcome feedback from our users. If you have a requirement or suggestion, please contact us and help us make NESS platform better.
