Monitor essential soil conditions effortlessly by checking moisture levels, temperature readings, evapotranspiration rates, and current weather conditions all at a glance.
Additionally, you have the flexibility to select the reporting frequency for your soil sensors, allowing you to tailor their performance to meet your crop specific needs and preferences.
Stay informed and optimise your agricultural practices with this comprehensive tool at your fingertips.
In addition to our comprehensive weather forecasting services, we also provide advanced predictions of soil moisture levels at the root zone several days ahead of time.
This vital information is designed to support effective risk management and optimise planning for farming operations.
By understanding soil moisture conditions in advance, agronomists and farmers can make more informed decisions, ensuring the health of their crops and the sustainability of their practices.
Stay informed with timely alerts delivered directly to your email or mobile phone via SMS, notifying you of critical changes in soil moisture levels within your paddocks.
You will receive updates specifically when these moisture levels fall outside the critical wilting point and field capacity range, ensuring you can take proactive measures to maintain optimal conditions for your crops.
With this service, you’ll always be aware of when and where soil moisture changes occur, allowing you to make informed decisions for better yield management.
AquaTerra sensors provide an invaluable tool for users looking to enhance their irrigation management or sowing practices. These advanced sensors not only enable you to generate comprehensive reports but also allow you to download these data seamlessly for any specified range of dates.
The reports contain detailed information about the selected irrigation zones or areas, giving you insights into their performance. In instances where there may be areas lacking sensor coverage, AquaTerra affords you the opportunity to conduct a meaningful comparison. This comparison can illustrate the performance differences in areas both with and without AquaTerra sensors, thereby highlighting the effectiveness of the technology in improving irrigation (or sowing) strategies.
