Phytech partners with Rivulis and Netafim on digital farming

Phytech recently announced partnerships with Rivulis and Netafim, two of the world’s largest precision irrigation companies, according to a news release. Under the collaborations, Phytech’s technologies will be integrated into the global operations of these industry players.

“Both Rivulis and Netafim are leaders in their respective fields,” said Oren Kind, Phytech’s CEO. “Our collaboration with these key players underscores the growing importance of data-driven solutions in modern agriculture. Together, we aim to usher in a new era of sustainable farming, benefiting growers globally.”

Phytech helps growers optimize the value chain for farming production by using proprietary plant and field condition sensors to deliver data-driven agronomic insights and recommendations. The company provides daily service to over 1,000 global producers of fruit, nuts and other crops, covering 45 million trees across 18,000 sites.

Rivulis has integrated its cloud-based precision irrigation subsidiary, Manna, into Phytech. This integration enables farmers to optimize plant performance and resource usage with accuracy and simplicity. 

The partnership with Netafim, Orbia’s Precision Agriculture Business, aims to enhance digital farming solutions by integrating Phytech’s technology with GrowSphere, Netafim’s all-in-one irrigation operating system, providing both sets of customers deeper visibility into their irrigation environment for faster and more accurate monitoring.
