AgriX brings automatic irrigation and farm monitoring to Batticaloa (மட்டக்களப்பு), where much of the paddy is rain-fed or tank-fed. We monitor village tank levels, make watering rainfall-aware, control solar pumps, and run drip or sprinkler automation for highland crops — engineered to keep working on weak signal.

A large share of Batticaloa's paddy depends on rain and on village tanks, not a major canal. Whether there is enough water this season is never certain, so decisions about when to water and when to hold back are harder and costlier to get wrong.
If you cannot see how much water is left in the tank, you either water too freely early and run short later, or hold back and stress the crop. The information you need is sitting in the tank, unmeasured.
Running a pump the day before heavy rain wastes water, fuel or power. Without a rainfall-aware plan, watering happens on habit rather than on what the sky is about to do.
Elephant and other wild-animal damage to crops is a known problem in the district. Farmers want earlier warning of intrusion — a need we are researching, not a finished product (see research below).
One system engineered around your fields, water source and crops — not a one-size kit.
A sensor reports the tank level to your phone, so you can plan the season against the water you actually have instead of guessing.
Watering plans take recent and expected rain into account, so a pump does not run just before rain and water is not wasted.
Pumps run on a schedule or on field need and can be powered by solar where mains is unreliable, with a manual override always available.
Coconut, cashew, maize, groundnut and brinjal plots run on drip or sprinkler automation by zone, watered on a schedule or on soil moisture.
Fields have weak signal, power cuts and old pumps. The controller runs on its own at the farm, so watering never waits for a mobile connection.
You do not have to automate the whole farm at once. Begin with one field or pump, see it work, then add more.
Yes. A tank-level sensor reports how much water is left to your phone, so you can plan a rain-fed or tank-fed season against the water you actually have.
Yes. Watering plans are rainfall-aware, so pumps do not run just before rain, and tank monitoring helps you spread limited water across the season.
Yes. Pump and valve control can be solar-powered where mains supply is unreliable, with a manual override always available at the pump.
Not as a finished product. Wild-animal intrusion early warning is an active research and pilot track for us, not something we sell as shipped. We will be honest about what is research and what is ready.
Yes. We serve Batticaloa from our Kalmunai office and travel up the coast for on-site visits to farms across the district.
Share your land, water source and crops in the Batticaloa District. We will propose an AgriX system sized to your farm — and be honest about what is ready and what is still research.
