Iran launches smart systems cutting water use by up to 30%. Greenhouse automation raises efficiency by over 60%. Joint production with Russia planned.
Iran has unveiled three smart agriculture systems developed by Tehran University that cut water use by up to 30% while boosting greenhouse efficiency by more than 60%, according to Mehr News Agency. The systems focus on irrigation management, greenhouse automation, and crop monitoring, combining local sensors with satellite data to deliver precise, plant-level control.
The irrigation system uses real-time environmental data and timed delivery to match crop needs, already achieving up to 23% water savings in deployments with municipal and natural resource bodies. Greenhouse automation covers irrigation, pesticide application, and climate control, reducing human error and lifting production efficiency by at least 63%.
Customised for each farm, the smart crop and orchard platforms adapt to local conditions through advanced sensing and monitoring. Tehran University also announced plans to establish a joint production line with Russia, signaling expanded international cooperation in agri-tech innovation.
