Click to listen to this article

Soiltech has developed a versatile sensor to wirelessly monitor the growth, transportation and storage of a wide range of crops. It can be used to track moisture, temperature, humidity, location and impacts on the crop.

Users bury the sensor where they want to measure moisture and temperature. The sensor takes a reading every 15 minutes and wirelessly sends data to a phone or computer. This recording of irrigation events, soil temperature and other trend lines can be used in making decisions from the start of the growing season through the end of harvest.

The sensor has a one-year battery life to minimize trips to the field, and batteries are rechargeable.
