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.
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.
Over- and under-watering both cost money. Getting timing and volume right, paddock by paddock, is difficult by eye.
Walking paddocks, reading probes and interpreting the weather takes hours that are hard to spare at scale.
In-field networks need maintenance and struggle to cover remote or spread-out properties.
From arid to temperate, Australian climate and irregular field shapes strain tools designed for uniform overseas cropping.
Radial turns freely available satellite data into an irrigation recommendation you can act on.
Satellites capture soil moisture, canopy and rainfall signals across every paddock, with no equipment to install.
Predictive models estimate root-zone moisture and forecast how much water the pasture actually needs.
The platform advises irrigation timing and volume for each paddock, in plain terms you can put to work.
Recommendations are checked against on-ground outcomes and refined each season, so accuracy builds over time.
Radial adapts established remote-sensing and modelling techniques to Australian pasture. The detail is technical; the output is simple.
Reads moisture and vegetation signals across whole properties, including smaller and irregularly shaped paddocks.
Combines satellite observations with soil-moisture modelling to estimate conditions below the surface, not just at the top.
Translates the modelling into clear guidance on when to irrigate and how much to apply.
These are the outcomes Radial is designed to achieve. They are targets under evaluation in current field trials, not proven results.
The goal Radial is testing: meaningfully lower water use for pasture irrigation compared with traditional practice.
Less manual monitoring and fewer interventions, freeing time otherwise spent walking paddocks and reading data.
Because insight comes from satellites, coverage extends across large and remote country without extra hardware.
Apply water when and where the pasture needs it, reducing waste from watering by habit or schedule.
Guidance arrives without walking paddocks or maintaining probe networks, so people focus on decisions.
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.
Radial is focused first on the sector where irrigated pasture matters most, with a platform designed to reach further over time.
Irrigated dairy country, where consistent pasture and water cost make timing and volume decisions high-value.
Irrigated pasture for beef and other livestock across variable Australian conditions.
The same satellite-first approach has potential across other irrigated systems and water-intensive operations.
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.
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.
Tell us about your property and what you irrigate. We will get in touch to arrange a demonstration.
