The pests, disease infestation, and temperature management in the greenhouse have significantly impacted producing high-quality crop yields. Salads and leafy vegetables need a cooling temperature. The high temperature in the greenhouse has impacted the growth of crop yields, and the farm workers need to manually apply the pesticide three times a week to reduce the crop damage.

The farm owner relied heavily on workers to operate and maintain his rock melon farm, from ploughing and seeding to watering and fertilizing of the crops. Thus, human errors are inevitable. He had to deal with inconsistency in irrigation and fertigation process. Issues were more apparent during days when he was away from the farm. As a result, his material cost was always high, crop’s health badly affected, and he was not able to predict his crops yield almost in every season. He knew the only way for him to mitigate all these issues is to replace part of the manual works with technology.

Inconsistency in crop yield, due to human errors in fertilization was a major concern for this farm owner. He assigned a worker to manage the fertilizer mixing twice a day. With the SOPs provided to the worker, farm owner still experienced inconsistency in yields and not able to achieve the target weight (per bunch of salad) that he wanted. The owner decided to deploy REDtone Smart Fertigation System in his greenhouse in March 2021 and he is amazed with the result
