Soil Moisture
Sensing
Know exactly how much water is in your soil at every depth — and irrigate only when your crops actually need it.

Why it matters
Smart irrigation starts
with real data
Over-irrigation wastes water and leaches nutrients. Under-irrigation stunts growth. Soil moisture data removes the guesswork.
Reduce water use by up to 40%
Trigger irrigation based on actual soil moisture thresholds, not fixed schedules. Save water and reduce pumping costs significantly.
Multi-depth profiling
Measure moisture at 10, 30 and 60 cm simultaneously. Understand where roots are drawing water and whether deep irrigation is reaching them.
Prevent root zone stress
Receive SMS or app alerts when moisture drops below your set threshold — before stress affects yield, not after.
Historic trend analysis
Three years of moisture history per sensor location. Identify seasonal patterns and improve irrigation scheduling season over season.
Readings every 15 minutes
High-frequency sampling catches rapid changes after heavy rainfall or irrigation events — giving you data when it matters most.
Works with any irrigation system
Open API connects to existing controllers or farm management software. Or simply act on the SMS alerts manually — no automation required.

Applications
Who uses soil moisture sensors
01
Drip irrigation management
Automate or schedule drip systems based on real-time soil moisture levels — reduce water consumption and avoid root rot from over-irrigation.
02
Large-scale horticulture
Monitor dozens of zones simultaneously on flower, vegetable and fruit farms. Spot irrigation uniformity problems before they affect yield.
03
Smallholder extension services
Agri-extension officers use shared sensor networks to advise groups of smallholders, covering a wide area from one LoRa gateway.
04
Research & trial plots
Universities and agri-research institutions use our sensors for controlled irrigation trials — with data export via API or CSV.
