Last year, Wageningen University and Aeres Hogeschool investigated the use and functioning of various soil moisture sensors on two sites in Wageningen and Dronten.

Online and continuous measurement of water quality is becoming increasingly important in our environment. This requires long-term stability of the sensor.

RMA Hydromet recently received a nice order from waterboard Aa and Maas to supply 21 OTT Pluvio 2L precipitation meters with wind protection shield and heating.

Growing potatoes in Poland has been a major challenge in recent years. In 2020, RMA started the project “Scans-Sensors-Satellites for improved irrigation” in Poland.

During the dry and warm summers of recent years, the fungal disease Phytophthora in potatoes was well controlled. Resulting in fewer outbreaks in the potato fields.

The DripsGewijs project develops, realizes and tests a field covering drip irrigation planner for potato and onion growers based on intelligent soil maps.

A collaboration of Dutch companies, including RMA, has started the Quality Improvements Fruit Crops Vietnam project in Vietnam. Yara, Bayer and the Farmers Union are also participating.

After a winter that was slightly wetter than average, the 2021 growing season will start with a drier period. Groundwater levels are falling rapidly in various areas.

Students from Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen are carrying out an internship assignment for RMA. This assignment is part of their major at TechHub Assen.

With RMA's sensor technology, we not only ensure high yields and low costs, but we are also working on sustainable and future-oriented agriculture with limited environmental impact.
