tooth root Sustainable Agricultural Technologies has host a administration , departmental and business deputation steer by the South Australia Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development , The Hon Tim Whetstone MP , at its inquiry and growth hub in Beit Halevy , Israel .
The relegating also comprised senior representative from the Australian USDA sphere including the Chief Operating Officer of the Office of South Australian Chief Entrepreneur , Dr Andrew Dunbar , Chief Executive of the Department of Primary Industries and Regions , South Australia , Scott Ashby , and Mark Allison , CEO and Managing Director of Elders Limited .
The delegation organised by the Australia - Israel Chamber of Commerce learned about ancestor ’ agri - tech solutions – including its patented Root Zone Temperature Optimisation ( RZTO ) and Irrigation by Condensation ( IBC ) technology - and how they might be applied in Australia to avail ameliorate the impact of drought on husbandry .
The Australian agrarian sector at the farm - gate is valued at US$ 45 billion annually with nearly 80 % of produce exported to world markets . However , pee scarceness for agriculture use is becoming an acute challenge , peculiarly in South Australia .
tooth root ’ RZTO technology utilises primer source heating plant telephone exchange to heat or cool crop roots , stabilising the root temperature and trim down the wallop of outside weather conditions to shorten growth cycles , increase yields and profits for farmers . It ’s being successfully used on crops as diverse as tomato , strawberry , pelf , basil , Allium schoenoprasum , cannabis and various flowers .
The research and ontogenesis hub also highlights the capacity of Roots ’ world - first off - grid Irrigation by Condensation technology to grow staple crops . The IBC off - gridiron organization utilises humidness in the air and energy sourced from the Sunday or wind to irrigate crops and operates without access to electrical energy or a normal body of water provision . IBC technology ( solar and/or galvanizing versions ) have already reach Agronomical Proof of concept , dispatch the full outgrowth cycle of nine different crops including tomato , peas , spinach and sorghum .
South Australia Minister for Primary Industries & Regional Development , the Hon Tim Whetstone MP aver , " We were very impressed by Roots ' technologies , including the Irrigation by Condensation ( IBC ) and Root Zone Temperature Optimisation ( RZTO ) products . They are very relevant to the challenge confront by both the South Australian and national agricultural industries . IBC technology has the potential to support food production in the most remote communities who have limited admission to water , include Indigenous community . We welcome further collaboration with Roots to research the possible use of these applied science and the impact it could have on South Australian Department of Agriculture . ”
Mark Allison , CEO and Managing Director of Elders Limited , said after inspect the adroitness , “ It was great to have the chance to reexamine the Roots technology . We see this as a helpful tool on a number of key securities industry segment in Australia . ”
Boaz Wachtel , co - laminitis and executive theater director of Roots Sustainable Agricultural Technologies Limited , invite penis of the high - level delegation from South Australia Primary Industries and Regional Development and the Office of South Australian Chief Entrepreneur to the root research and developing hub in Beit Halevy , Israel .
Roots CEO , Dr. Sharon Devir enunciate , “ We are very excited to be able to show how our engineering science can tally value to farmers of many crop across Australia . Like Israelis , Australians have always live with drouth and its consequences . However , it is likely that mood change is make drought worse in the southeast and southwest of Australia . Our initiation are allow farmers to well manage cycles/second and increase yield on a variety of crops and we think they can have a interchangeable impact in Australia .
“ Even in removed areas the solar - ground IBC organisation could be an important avenue for indigenous primal community of interests to get farming crops just from humidness in the airwave . Securing self sufficient food supply on a remote community level is an of import part of the visual sensation of the use of IBC in Australia . ”
