Manna Irrigation Intelligence
Irrigation recommendation software
Description
Manna Irrigation Intelligence is a digital service developed by Rivulis that delivers site-specific irrigation recommendations based on satellite imagery, weather data, and crop models. It addresses the challenges of inefficient irrigation scheduling and water waste helping commercial producers optimize productivity and resource efficiency.
Technology
The platform combines satellite remote sensing, localized weather forecasting, and agronomic models to calculate crop water requirements and define irrigation zones. Recommendations are generated in the cloud and accessed via web and mobile applications, with SMS available in areas with limited smartphone use.
Target
Manna primarily serves medium- and large-scale commercial farms in the horticulture, fruit, vegetable, and commodity sectors. The solution is designed for irrigated production systems in both developed and emerging markets, with adaptations such as SMS/Whatsapp delivery to reach smaller producers in regions with limited digital infrastructure.
Business model
The service is offered through an annual subscription, typically calculated per hectare. A limited free trial is available for farmers to test the platform before subscribing.
Impact
Manna aims to contribute to more precise irrigation scheduling, enabling reductions in water waste and production costs while supporting yields. The platform could promote sustainable water use and strengthen climate resilience in irrigated agriculture.
