Hortau

For agriculture professionals, managing water is managing risk and profitability. Hortau moves you from guesswork and weather-based estimates to data-driven certainty. Its core technology measures soil tension—a direct indicator of how hard a plant's roots are working to extract water. This is more accurate than simple moisture content, as it accounts for soil type and crop needs. The platform translates this data into simple, actionable irrigation schedules, accessible via mobile and web apps. By seeing exactly when and how much your crops need to drink, you can prevent yield-damaging stress, reduce water consumption by a reported 20-30% in many cases, and lower energy costs from unnecessary pumping. Hortau's system also includes weather forecasting and optional automation features, creating a comprehensive irrigation management solution that directly impacts your bottom line through higher yields and lower input costs.
