Soils monitoring

Healthy soil is the foundation for productive and sustainable agriculture. By integrating advanced soil sensors, growers gain accurate insights into soil conditions in real time supporting better decisions, reducing risks, and improving yields. 

Sensing Metrics



Key Objectives for Soil Monitoring in Agriculture 

Optimizing Soil Moisture Management
Soil moisture sensors help ensure plants receive the right amount of water at the right time, improving irrigation efficiency and preventing both water stress and overwatering.

Understanding Water Availability for Crops
Soil water potential sensors provide insight into how easily plants can extract water from the soil, guiding precise irrigation decisions that match crop water needs.

Preventing Salt Build-Up and Soil Degradation
Salinity and chloride profiling enables early detection of harmful salt levels, helping to maintain soil health, reduce root stress, and avoid crop damage caused by salinization.

Assessing Soil Fertility and Nutrient Flow
Electrical conductivity (EC) monitoring gives growers real-time feedback on soil's nutrient-carrying capacity, helping fine-tune fertilization strategies and support strong root development.

Monitoring Temperature for Root Zone Health
Soil temperature sensors track fluctuations that directly impact seed germination, root activity, microbial life, and nutrient availability — enabling smarter timing for planting, fertilizing, and irrigation.

Supporting Sustainable Resource Management
Together, these sensing metrics provide growers with the data needed to minimize waste, reduce runoff, and avoid over-application of water or nutrients — ensuring long-term soil health and sustainability.

Enabling Site-Specific and Precision Agriculture
Accurate soil data supports precision farming practices, allowing growers to address specific zones within fields, optimize crop inputs, and improve overall productivity and profitability.

    The Benefits of Soil Monitoring in Agriculture 

    Maximized Irrigation Efficiency
    Real-time soil moisture and water potential data allow for precise irrigation scheduling, reducing water waste, lowering energy costs, and ensuring crops receive exactly what they need.

    Early Detection of Soil Salinity Issues
    Salinity and chloride profiling helps prevent salt build-up that can damage roots, limit nutrient absorption, and reduce yield — allowing timely action to maintain healthy soil conditions.

    Improved Fertilizer and Input Use
    Electrical conductivity sensors give growers a clear picture of soil nutrient levels, improving fertilization strategies and helping avoid over-application of chemicals.

    Enhanced Crop Growth and Root Development
    Soil temperature data helps ensure that seeds germinate at the right time and roots thrive under optimal conditions, which boosts plant vigor and yield potential.

    Reduced Crop Stress and Yield Loss
    Monitoring soil water potential and salinity helps prevent water-related stress and salt toxicity, both of which can lead to reduced growth, quality loss, or crop failure.

    Support for Sustainable and Profitable Farming
    Accurate soil monitoring encourages responsible use of water and fertilizers, improving soil longevity, reducing environmental impact, and increasing operational cost-efficiency.

    Data-Driven Decision-Making for Precision Agriculture
    Continuous monitoring gives farmers the confidence to make informed, real-time decisions, supporting field-by-field — or even plant-by-plant — management strategies for maximum performance.

    Monitoring soil health with advanced sensor technology delivers powerful insights that help growers boost productivity, conserve resources, and ensure sustainable farming practices.
