Wireless Soil Salinity, Moisture & Temperature Sensor
Data Insights That Empower Decisions
Leverage Soil Data To Make Informed Decisions
Get soil moisture, temperature and salinity data from the root zone of each microclimate as often as every 20 minutes.
Optimize your input and application decisions with data from the soil. Eliminate the guess work, apply with confidence and justify application efficiency with post-application data proofing.
What Data Does The Sensor Provide?
Soil Moisture
Utilizing frequency-domain sensing (FDR), the soil is used as a capacitor to measure the maximum resonant frequency in the electrical circuit and relate the resonant frequency to water content.
Soil Temperature
A Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) measures the resistance change as temperature changes, providing an accurate temperature reading with low-power consumption and great durability.
Soil Salinity
Soil electrical conductivity (EC) is measured and corrected by the temperature measurements to determine the level of salts in soil (salinity). This parameter is a vital indicator of soil fertility and health.
