Key Challenges for Oilseeds and Industrial Crops
Optimize water use
to improve crop productivity and the quality of the grain, fiber, or fruit.
Manage Fertilizers Effectively
applying fertilizers at the appropriate time and in the appropriate amounts based on the phenological stage of each field.
Control of agricultural inputs
used on the farm to maximize the uniformity and quality of the final product.
Preparing for Adverse Climatical Conditions
such as droughts, frosts, or heavy rain, which can affect crop growth and yield.
How VEGGA Helps in Oilseeds and Industrial Crops
1 / 3
Irrigation Control
Manage and monitor the data from your Agrónic controllers from anywhere. Save time and water, resolve incidences, and ensure your crops get exactly what they need.
- Manage fertigation precisely by using programming and monitoring of the irrigation system.
- It balances water supply with irrigation pulses based on the needs of each crop and its stage of growth.
- Access irrigation reports and historical data, along with audits that help validate decisions and improve water use efficiency.
2 / 3
Agroclimatic monitoring
Get real-time climate, crop, and soil data based on sensor readings and agroclimatic indices, and make more informed decisions for your farm.
- Using soil sensors, it provides insights into the behavior of water and nutrients in the soil profile, enabling precise decisions regarding irrigation and fertilization.
- It monitors weather conditions in real time, helping to plan irrigation, fertilization, and treatments based on weather risks.

Assisted irrigation
Precision-adjust and automate the irrigation of your crops using smart algorithms based on historical data, sensor readings, and weather forecasts—all without the need for daily monitoring.
- Predict your crop’s water needs to improve yield stability and productivity.
Benefits of Managing Oilseeds and Industrial Crops with VEGGA
Higher yield and greater uniformity of grain and seed
Optimal water and fertilization management improves yield, seed size, and uniformity in oilseed crops, increasing oil content and parameters such as acidity and peroxide values.
1
Crop-specific quality
VEGGA helps optimize key attributes of each crop: oil content in oilseeds; fiber length, strength, and fineness in cotton and flax; and sugar content in sugar beets, ensuring higher quality grains, fibers, and fruits.
2
Control of phenology and efficient use of inputs
Adjusting irrigation and fertilizers—including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—based on the growth stage of each field maximizes uniformity and quality and facilitates the planning of field operations.
3
Resistance to stress and climate
A good balance of water and nutrients helps crops withstand droughts, frosts, and other climatical adverse conditions.
4
Integrated water and nutrient management
Soil sensors provide insights into how water and nutrients behave within the soil profile, help balance water supply through irrigation pulses, and optimize fertilizer use.
5
Operating Profitability
Precise control of irrigation, nutrition, and planning based on climatical conditions increases productivity, quality, and overall farm efficiency.
6
Recommended hardware
Soil water potential sensor
A matric potential sensor that allows for the assessment of actual water availability to the plant and the detection of water stress in crops. At VEGGA, this data helps optimize irrigation programming and complements soil moisture information for more precise water management.
Irrigation meter
An irrigation meter that monitors the volume of water applied and enables users to control water consumption, analyze irrigation pulses, and detect hydraulic anomalies. At VEGGA, this data is integrated with soil and climate sensors to optimize irrigation efficiency and decision-making.
Pressure transducer
A pressure sensor that monitors water pressure in the irrigation system to ensure correct operation and uniform distribution on the VEGGA platform, detecting anomalies such as leaks, blockages, or drops in pressure, and ensuring the effectiveness of irrigation and frost protection systems.
