E.S.I. Environmental Sensors Inc. ("ESI" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE: ESV) is pleased to announce the installation of a
GroPoint™ Wireless system by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
(AAFC) and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture (Sask Ag). The
system will be deployed at the Outlook Crop Diversification Center,
jointly operated by AAFC and Sask Ag.
AAFC and Sask Ag will initiate their use of the GroPoint™
Wireless monitoring system under irrigation pivots in a variety of
crops for the upcoming 2011 growing season. The system consists of
a series of field nodes, soil moisture sensors and a weather
station, which will feed real-time, soil moisture and weather data
via a wireless network to researchers through ESI's GroPoint™
Manager software.
The system serves several purposes and will provide a multitude
of benefits to researchers, growers and the agricultural community.
The system will allow scientists to gather data while they perform
various research projects on demonstration plots and will verify
the efficiency of irrigation equipment systems. The system will
assist irrigation managers (growers) in analyzing their irrigation
methods, allowing them to make better decisions regarding when and
how to irrigate. Staff at the center will also demonstrate the
GroPoint™ Wireless system and monitoring equipment on tours and
field days, which are held regularly for members of the
agricultural community. It is anticipated that the research and
results from this facility will be shared both federally through
AAFC and provincially with other provincial agricultural
ministries. As well, it is hoped that as ESI continues to build on
its established credibility in the scientific and research
communities, this visibility will assist ESI in its efforts to
further penetrate the commercial agriculture market. Pivot
irrigation is a significant potential market for ESI - there are
nearly 300,000 pivots in operation in North America.
