This new generation of products protects crops and helps growers reduce labor and resources, such as fertilizer, water and energy, minimizing negative impacts by avoiding nutrient leaching and groundwater pollution.

The entire Dosing 5G product line also integrates with Orbia Netafim's GrowSphere™, an intuitive all-in-one digital farming operating system that lets users seamlessly manage all daily irrigation and fertigation activities. From planning to execution and validation, Dosing 5G's fully customizable multi-channel system provides growers with unmatched precision, automation, and assurance, from planting through harvest.

"Now more than ever, the future of farming depends on precise fertigation to balance high yield, operational efficiency, and environmental responsibility," said Abed Masarwa, VP Products at Orbia Precision Agriculture (Netafim). "Dosing 5G's product line uses maximum accuracy with minimal intervention to introduce a new standard in precision fertigation. By providing the optimal combination of inputs at the right time, this latest evolution of Orbia Netafim's dosing solutions, driven by AI, empowers growers to overcome resource constraints and climate uncertainty, bolstering food supply in a smart and sustainable way."

The Dosing 5G Product Range Includes:

• FertiKit™ 5G - A highly flexible and customizable fertigation dosing system designed specifically for open fields or orchards with nine models that can be configured by dosing type, channels, flow, pressure range, tank setup (even acid), energy source and water source to match setup and budget.
• FertiOne™ 5G - A simple and effective solution for bulk fertigation, featuring a single-channel dosing system for even application and a fast, plug-and-play installation.
• NetaJet™ 5G - An ultra-responsive EC/pH stabilization for sensitive crops or short irrigation cycles with adaptive dosing control, requiring no manual calibration or expert intervention.
• NetaFlex™ 5G - An advanced uniform fertigation dosing system that uses an open tank mixing system for accurate fertilizer application and features ultra-precise stabilization powered by EC/pH dual sensors.

Dosing 5G solutions have already been deployed, with early results already demonstrating significant improvements in customer experience and efficiency. These findings validate the system as a powerful solution for achieving higher yields, better-quality crops, reduced nutrient runoff, and minimized environmental impact.

New full-coverage sprinkler system complements Orbia Netafim's extreme weather mitigation solutions to offer year-round crop defense from weather-related risks

TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbia Advance Corporation's S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: ORBIA*) Precision Agriculture business Netafim, the global leader in precision irrigation solutions, which is celebrating its 60^th year of innovation, announced today the introduction of Mega-PULSAR™, a unique full-coverage pulsing sprinkler technology developed to protect orchards from intensifying heatwaves and severe heat stress. This rollout marks the latest addition to Orbia Netafim's portfolio of extreme weather mitigation solutions and is specifically tailored to help growers of high-value subtropical crops, such as avocado, mango, lychee and more by addressing the growing threat of extreme heatwaves and water scarcity.

As heatwaves intensify and become more frequent, especially during fruit set stage and pre-harvest periods when fruit yield and quality are most vulnerable, crops require innovative solutions to retain moisture and supplement traditional irrigation methods. Mega-PULSAR™ distributes uniform pulses of low-volume water throughout the orchard canopy, forming a localized microclimate that reduces temperature and elevates humidity to shield crops from heat stress.

Mega-PULSAR™'s combination of wide spacing installation, high uniformity, and minimal water usage makes it unique in the industry. The system supports a range of flow rates and spacing configurations, to enable growers to customize deployments to match an orchard's specific size and topography. Its modular design simplifies installation, reduces the number of units needed per hectare, and lowers ongoing maintenance and labor costs for upkeep and installation. These advantages make Mega-PULSAR™ a compelling solution for high-value produce growers seeking to both reduce overhead costs and future-proof their operations against climate variability.

Building on Orbia Netafim's array of sustainable agricultural solutions, Mega-PULSAR™ extends that innovation to deliver full-area protection from extreme heat events with high water-use efficiency. At the heart of this innovation is the company's proprietary pulsation mechanism that distributes water in a "light rain" pattern. This mimics natural rainfall, allowing for both direct cooling, where droplets lower the temperature of tree surfaces, and evaporative cooling, where the surrounding air temperature is decreased as water evaporates. The result is a more resilient orchard environment that safeguards both fruit yield and quality.

"Today's growers are facing a new level of agricultural risk driven by extreme weather events, especially more frequent heatwaves, and most are not prepared," said Orit Katzir, Global Product Manager at Orbia Precision Agriculture (Netafim). "We developed Mega-PULSAR™ in direct response to the evolving needs of our growers, offering a scalable and efficient way to protect orchards from every angle and at every phase of orchard growth. This innovation follows our ongoing mission over the past 60 years to help farmers grow more with less, even in the face of unprecedented challenges."

Initial installations of Mega-PULSAR™ began in Spring 2025, with early results pointing to significant improvements in increasing relative humidity and lowering temperature across orchards, validating its promise as a transformative tool for orchard heat mitigation.
