Every successful cultivation system depends on precise information about crop health, water availability, and environmental conditions. At INTA, we integrate advanced sensing technology into our fertigation and climate control systems to help growers optimize irrigation, reduce inputs, and improve crop performance across all production models - from open field and orchards to hydroponics and high-tech greenhouses.
INTA integrates premium sensing technology with our EVO and SYSINTA platforms so growers can:
Root-zone intelligence for maximum water efficiency
Soil moisture determines crop performance long before symptoms appear above ground. As exclusive distributor of Sentek, INTA brings growers the most advanced multi-depth soil probes on the market, providing precise data on:
Moisture content at each root layer
Soil temperature dynamics
Salinity trends (VIC)
Water infiltration and drainage speed
Plant water extraction rates throughout the day
Sentek’s Drill & Drop architecture ensures quick installation and minimal root disturbance, enabling the sensors to represent the true active root zone. With readings taken every few centimeters, growers can detect when water isn’t penetrating deeply enough — or when excess irrigation leads to nutrient leaching.
The included Irrimax software, together with SYSINTA and EVO, converts data into irrigation decisions and automation. Instead of fixed schedules, watering is triggered when the crop actually needs it, reducing water and fertilizer use by up to 30–60% depending on the crop and soil. Sentek enables growers to:
Understand how different soil types respond to irrigation
Protect against salt accumulation and root stress
Optimize irrigation timing for maximum photosynthesis hours
Monitor seasonal growth and rooting patterns
Substrate Moisture Sensors - TDR
Reliable steering for high-performance hydroponics
In substrate-grown crops, water and oxygen must remain in perfect balance. With TDR technology, INTA offers precise monitoring of:
Substrate moisture dynamics
EC behavior during irrigation and drainage
Root-zone temperature patterns
Even small variances in irrigation frequency can shift crops toward vegetative or generative development. TDR sensors, combined with Drain Control Pro, provide a full overview of uptake vs. drainage, helping growers adjust irrigation based on plant behavior, not assumptions. Integrated with EVO Fertigation, the system can:
Stop irrigation during overnight uptake drops
Shift to pulse irrigation on high radiation days
Reduce drainage waste while protecting fruit quality
Water Quality Sensors – EC / pH / Temperature
Precision nutrition begins with precise measurement
Water chemistry affects nutrient availability, root health, and yield. INTA’s EC, pH, and temperature sensors offer:
Continuous measurement before and after fertilizer injection
Immediate reaction to changes in water source or quality
Full automation when linked with INTA’s Fertigation Systems and EVO
Maintaining the proper pH ensures that nutrients remain available, while EC monitoring prevents:
Underfeeding → slower growth, pale leaves
Overfeeding → salt stress, lower yields
When connected to Dual EC/pH Control, nutrient dosing becomes automatic — reliable even in fast-changing hydroponic environments.
Greenhouse Temperature & Humidity Sensors
Fast, reliable, and built for the greenhouse environment
Temperature and humidity drive transpiration, disease pressure, and overall crop vigor. INTA designs and manufactures sensors optimized for:
High humidity resistance
Fast reaction to temperature shock
Accurate readings for VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) optimization
A proper VPD strategy improves:
Water uptake and nutrient flow
Flowering and fruit set
Disease reduction
Available models:
Standard greenhouse probes
Radiation-protected hanging shield
Dry-bulb temperature versions for heating evaluation
Seamlessly integrated into EVO Climate control actions:
Ventilation
Heating
Fogging
Dehumidification
CO₂ Sensors
The fastest way to increase biomass production
CO₂ is a primary building block for plant growth, but only when maintained within a precise range. INTA’s CO₂ sensors provide:
Real-time concentration monitoring
Safe levels coordinated with ventilation strategy
Efficient use of CO₂ injection to avoid waste
Growers typically see 10–30% increase in productivity with optimized CO₂ control, especially during peak photosynthetic hours. With EVO, CO₂ dosing is harmonized with:
Window/vent positions
Wind speed & direction
Solar radiation
When connected to Dual EC/pH Control, nutrient dosing becomes automatic — reliable even in fast-changing hydroponic environments.
Leaf Temperature Sensors – IR (Apogee)
The best indicator of plant stress - before damage occurs
Leaf temperature reveals how well a plant is cooling itself through transpiration. Our non-contact IR sensors from Apogee detect:
Water stress
VPD imbalance
Heat stress related to ventilation
Cooling efficiency after irrigation/misting
This early warning allows growers to:
Adjust irrigation before stress escalates
Improve fruit uniformity
Reduce energy consumption by optimizing climate strategy
PAR Light Sensors – Apogee
Light is energy - measure it wisely
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) sensors quantify the light plants can actually use to produce energy. With this data, EVO can:
Activate supplemental LED lighting only when needed
Maintain consistent Daily Light Integral (DLI)
Prevent overstimulation and save energy
This directly improves:
Growth rate and fruit load
Quality and morphology
Production predictability
Outdoor Weather Stations – INTA
Your farm connected to the climate around it
External weather conditions shape how your greenhouse behaves. Our robust weather stations measure:
Temperature and humidity
Wind speed and direction
Solar radiation
Rain detection
When connected to EVO, automated crop protection becomes proactive:
