CropX Launches a New Era of Sustainable Irrigation in Australia

Brings Revolutionary Evapotranspiration Monitoring for Precision Irrigation

ADELAIDE, Australia, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CropX, a global leader of digital agricultural solutions, is launching throughout the Australasia region a first-of-its-kind sensor for monitoring the real-time plant water use in a field through evapotranspiration (ET). This new, above-canopy sensor connects to the CropX agronomic farm management system to give its users an unprecedented knowledge of crop water use and needs, allowing for data-driven irrigation scheduling and remote management that maximizes water efficiency.

CropX’s Actual ET sensor vastly increases the knowledge of water use at the soil and plant level so that farmers can make well-informed agronomic decisions. Users of the CropX system can reduce irrigation water by up to 50% while still protecting, and even improving, the productivity of their fields.

CropX’s agronomic farm management system links sensors in fields and satellite data with cloud-based advanced agronomic analytics. The system delivers field, weather, and crop data and recommendations via mobile or desktop app. CropX’s soil sensors collect data that is transformed into helpful visualizations and advisory insights that guide the timing and amount of irrigation, fungal disease crop protection, and planting and harvest dates, while acting as a recording repository for on-farm management activities. In New Zealand, Dairy Holdings, a dairy collective that covers over 20,000 hectares, has used CropX as a key tool to reduce irrigation use by 30% while improving the quality and quantity of their yield.

The CropX Actual ET sensor can be used alongside soil moisture sensors to gain a complete picture of water use in a field. It can also be an alternative to a soil moisture sensor when rocky soils make an in-ground soil moisture sensor challenging. Regional evapotranspiration values are commonly used by farmers to estimate how much and when to irrigate, but the CropX option offers the first measurement that covers a specific field on a daily basis. This specificity can reveal microclimate differences, crop stage water uptake differences, and can provide an early detection method for crop stress.  

The evapotranspiration technology came from CropX’s 2022 acquisition of Tule Technologies, a California-based agricultural tech company that developed the patented technology. CropX further has continued to refine the tech and developed a version that can be mounted on a center pivot.

Eitan Dan, managing director of CropX Australasia, says, “It is exciting to bring evapotranspiration sensing to New Zealand and Australia and the rest of the region, as we expand the universe of tools for effectively managing water, the most valuable natural resource we have.”

Additional benefits of the evapotranspiration sensor include the reduction on the reliance on weather stations for ET; field-scale insights that offer a clearer view of field water-use dynamics; and seasonal ET data that can provide insights into how factors like temperature swings and droughts impact water use that can help inform irrigation planning and water budgeting for future seasons.

In New Zealand and Australia, CropX is sold through local dealers. To find a local dealer or to become one, contact us at info.nz@cropx.com.

TrendAI™ Adopts Claude Opus 5 to Advance Vulnerability Prioritization and Virtual Patching

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, TrendAI applies frontier reasoning to convert vulnerability intelligence into faster protection across hybrid environments

DALLAS, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), today announced it is adopting Claude Opus 5, Anthropic’s latest and most capable Opus model, to help security teams convert vulnerability intelligence into immediate protection, from prioritization to virtual patching. The move builds on TrendAI’s collaboration with Anthropic on Claude Opus 4.8, extending the same defensive focus to a model that delivers step-change gains in advanced reasoning, agentic workflows, and long-horizon analysis. As AI makes finding vulnerabilities easier than ever, the harder problem becomes protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and that is where TrendAI is putting Opus 5 to work.

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, which credentials organizations for the defensive use of frontier AI models, TrendAI is positioned to apply Claude Opus 5 to defensive security as access becomes available. The model is Zero Data Retention compatible, supporting TrendAI’s governance and data-protection requirements as it scales AI across security operations.

The work extends to TrendAI Threat Research, where frontier AI models are combined with our proprietary frontier intelligence engine and human expertise to generate pre-disclosure intelligence. Those insights power TrendAI Vision One™, delivering stronger detection, deeper forensic insights, and proactive protection through virtual patching.

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™:
“With Claude Opus 5, TrendAI can move from vulnerability intelligence to action faster than ever, prioritizing what matters most by exploitability and business impact. Finding the vulnerability was always the hard part. Now the challenge is protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and frontier reasoning is what changes that equation, extending all the way to virtual patching that protects customers before a vendor fix ships. This is what it means to secure the AI age, fearlessly.”

These capabilities support TrendAI Vision One™ in helping security analysts, AppSec teams, and SOC teams prioritize exposure, map attack paths, and accelerate mitigation, including virtual patching, across hybrid environments, moving vulnerability management from a static scanning process into a faster, context-aware risk mitigation workflow.

About TrendAI™
