Soil and Water Management

Sustainable agriculture relies on responsible soil and water management. CARIRI provides soil testing and analysis services that help farmers make informed decisions about fertilization and land use. Our expertise in water management ensures efficient irrigation practices, reducing water wastage and improving crop health. We can collect and test water destined for field irrigation or aquaponics (hydroponics and aquaculture) for the most common water quality microbiological indicators such as Total Coliforms, Faecal Coliforms and Escherichia Coli. Additionally, we can assist with treatability of discharge to meet relevant standards as well as characterization of waste and solids for reuse option. Implementation of reuse option. Additionally, we can assist in Fungal and Bacterial identification of plant diseases.

Energy Cost Savings

Energy expenses are a substantial part of a farmer's budget. Transitioning to sustainable energy sources like solar panels can lead to significant cost savings over time, making agriculture more financially sustainable. Off grid solar panels can be used in remote locations for maintaining security systems and operating equipment such as pumps. Agrivoltaics, the practice of growing crops under overhead solar panels, has resulted in higher crop yields while generating much needed energy.

IoT and Sensor Technology

The Internet of Things (IoT) has made it possible to connect various sensors and devices on the farm. These sensors monitor everything from temperature and humidity to machinery performance and livestock health. Real-time data collection and analysis enable farmers to make timely decisions and respond to issues quickly, ultimately improving productivity.

Food, Beverage and Potable Water Testing

We also offer food and beverage testing to ensure consumer safety
