PlantCare AG – Precision Irrigation Based on Plant-Available Water

PlantCare AG, based in Switzerland, is a leader in intelligent irrigation and plant monitoring systems. Since 2012, the company has delivered innovative sensor technology that measures only the plant-available water – the portion of soil moisture that plants can actually absorb and use.

Unlike conventional systems that measure total soil moisture, PlantCare’s technology focuses solely on the moisture relevant for plant uptake. This enables automated, highly precise irrigation, ensuring plants receive exactly the water they need – no more, no less.

This precision brings multiple benefits: beyond significant water savings and improved plant health, it also helps to reduce the need for herbicides and pesticides. By avoiding overwatering and plant stress, crops become less susceptible to disease and weed pressure, supporting more sustainable and eco-friendly cultivation.

PlantCare’s robust product portfolio includes maintenance-free soil moisture sensors, smart irrigation controllers, and cloud-based data platforms. These solutions are trusted by professionals in agriculture, horticulture, gardening, landscaping, and scientific research worldwide.

Whether used in commercial crop production, public green spaces, private gardens, or environmental projects, PlantCare systems help users lower input costs, conserve natural resources, and optimize plant growth.

With Swiss engineering at its core and a clear focus on sustainability, PlantCare AG empowers growers and green space managers to make data-driven, environmentally responsible irrigation decisions.
