LET’S CREATE YOUR WATER MONITORING CONTROL SYSTEM
It matters more than ever, that you get the best system to sustain your needs. When water is in short supply you can’t afford to not use the best systems in the world to control your environment.
Peter White, MBA (Grad Dip Mgt)
Peter has been associated with the water industry for his entire career; having gained his base training with Hardie Irrigation which is considered a cornerstone in training for the Irrigation Industry.
Peters’ tenure has taken him to every Australian state and territory as well as the Pacific Islands offering irrigation design, irrigation equipment, environmental monitoring systems and meters, with specialised knowledge in control systems. After 25 years working with SCADA and Motorola IRRInet, 15 years with Toro Australia covering Golf Irrigation, Commercial and Sport Turf, Horticulture and Agricultural market places.
Mission Statement:
WMC Solutions Australia: Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the benefit of the environment.

Soil Sensors
WaterScout is Spectrum’s family of sensors for measuring soil moisture at remote locations.
Soil Diagnostics
FieldScout meters are Spectrum’s full line of portable soil and plant diagnostic meters.
Light Measurement
The Spectrum Technologies’ LightScout brand is applied to light measurement meters and sensors.
“Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement.
If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it”.
― H. James Harrington
Weather Monitoring
Stations, Mini Stations, Micro Stations, and Sprayer Stations for monitoring site-specific areas to determine and manage microclimates. WatchDog stations are customizable, allowing growers to monitor the inputs that are essential to their operations. Numerous sensors are available to measure key parameters such as soil moisture, light, air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction, and to calculate evapotranspiration rates, degree days, and other important metrics used to grow and manage healthy crops. All environmental data is logged at user-defined intervals for tracking trends over time, reporting capabilities, and at-a-glance monitoring to help growers make informed decisions.
Take monitoring one step further by adding an IPM disease and insect package. Use additional parameters such as leaf wetness to determine when the conditions are right for a particular disease.
Plant Health
Pests and diseases can reduce plant quality and yield, and pesticides add significant input costs. Protect your plants by submitting environmental conditions to disease and insect models. These models forecast disease and insect pressure using field-tested and validated algorithms. SpecWare™ disease alerts can assist pesticide application timing, facilitate an IPM approach, and improve plant health
Soil & Water
Plant growth is supported by a strong root system. Along with proper nutrition levels, plants need access to adequate air and water in the soil to develop a strong root system. Determine soil strength by measuring compaction levels at multiple depths. Monitor soil moisture over time with in-ground sensors and in multiple locations with portable soil moisture meters. Utilize compaction and soil moisture data to make informed management decisions.
Nutrient Management
Measure NO3-, Na+, K+, chlorophyll, pH and EC to monitor nutrients in the soil and plant. All crops require proper nutrient levels to maintain top quality and achieve maximum economic yield. Measure NO3-, Na+, K+, Ca2+, chlorophyll, pH and EC to monitor nutrients in the soil and plant. Measurements can be made quickly, accurately and easily with in-field handheld meters. Immediately analyse soil or plant tissue and increase profits with well-timed fertilizer applications that produce a higher quality crop.
