Satellite-guided irrigation for Australian pasture.

Radial reads soil moisture from space and models the root zone, so you know when and how much to water. No paddock full of sensors to install or maintain.

The problem

Watering pasture in Australia is expensive, manual, and hard to scale.

Irrigated pasture underpins dairy and livestock, but managing it well means constant judgement calls across large, variable country. The tools that exist were mostly built for someone else's conditions.

01

Water costs add up

Over- and under-watering both cost money. Getting timing and volume right, paddock by paddock, is difficult by eye.

02

Monitoring is labour

Walking paddocks, reading probes and interpreting the weather takes hours that are hard to spare at scale.

03

Sensors don't scale

In-field networks need maintenance and struggle to cover remote or spread-out properties.

04

Conditions are extreme and varied

From arid to temperate, Australian climate and irregular field shapes strain tools designed for uniform overseas cropping.

How it works

Four steps, no hardware in the ground.

Radial turns freely available satellite data into an irrigation recommendation you can act on.

STEP 01

Observe

Satellites capture soil moisture, canopy and rainfall signals across every paddock, with no equipment to install.

STEP 02

Model

Predictive models estimate root-zone moisture and forecast how much water the pasture actually needs.

STEP 03

Recommend

The platform advises irrigation timing and volume for each paddock, in plain terms you can put to work.

STEP 04

Improve

Recommendations are checked against on-ground outcomes and refined each season, so accuracy builds over time.

Technology

Remote sensing, modelling and decision support.

Radial adapts established remote-sensing and modelling techniques to Australian pasture. The detail is technical; the output is simple.

  • Satellite remote sensing

    Reads moisture and vegetation signals across whole properties, including smaller and irregularly shaped paddocks.

  • Predictive modelling

    Combines satellite observations with soil-moisture modelling to estimate conditions below the surface, not just at the top.

  • Decision support

    Translates the modelling into clear guidance on when to irrigate and how much to apply.

Intended benefits

What we are working to deliver.

These are the outcomes Radial is designed to achieve. They are targets under evaluation in current field trials, not proven results.

Trial target
up to 20%

Less irrigation water

The goal Radial is testing: meaningfully lower water use for pasture irrigation compared with traditional practice.

Trial target
up to 25%

Fewer labour hours

Less manual monitoring and fewer interventions, freeing time otherwise spent walking paddocks and reading data.

By design
Property-wide

Scalable coverage

Because insight comes from satellites, coverage extends across large and remote country without extra hardware.

Water efficiency

Apply water when and where the pasture needs it, reducing waste from watering by habit or schedule.

Less manual monitoring

Guidance arrives without walking paddocks or maintaining probe networks, so people focus on decisions.

Sustainability

Using less water to grow the same pasture supports more sustainable production over the long term.

Field trials are ongoing. Figures above describe the improvements Radial aims to demonstrate and are not a guarantee of performance. Results will depend on property, season and conditions.

Sectors & use cases

Starting with dairy, built to extend.

Radial is focused first on the sector where irrigated pasture matters most, with a platform designed to reach further over time.

First focus

Dairy pasture

Irrigated dairy country, where consistent pasture and water cost make timing and volume decisions high-value.

First focus

Livestock grazing

Irrigated pasture for beef and other livestock across variable Australian conditions.

Future potential

Broader irrigated agriculture

The same satellite-first approach has potential across other irrigated systems and water-intensive operations.

Proof · field trials

In the paddock, on real properties.

Radial is being trialled on Western Australian dairy properties, across regions with very different rainfall, to test the platform against traditional irrigation practice.

Trial locations and participant details are kept confidential. Findings will be shared as the program progresses.

  • Trials running on Western Australian dairy properties
  • Two contrasting rainfall regions, from lower to higher rainfall
  • Satellite-derived recommendations compared against conventional practice
  • Water use and labour tracked over multiple growing seasons
About Radial

Australian water problems deserve Australian tools.

Radial Analytics is a Western Australian agri-tech company building a remote, largely sensorless water-management platform for Australian irrigated pasture, starting with dairy and livestock.

Rather than fit out paddocks with sensors, Radial adapts remote sensing and predictive modelling to local conditions, turning satellite data into practical irrigation guidance.

Our mission is straightforward: help Australian producers grow the pasture they need with less water and less manual work.
