Our soil monitoring systems show you what’s happening below ground
Having key data about your soil allows you to optimise land usage.
Monitor soil activity accurately. Our soil monitoring systems allow you to track soil moisture, temperature and more allowing you to plant, harvest, spray, irrigate and protect crops with certainty.
Soil Moisture Sensor
Soil Moisture Sensor Benefits
A FarmSense soil moisture sensor gives you accurate data at your fingertips, so you can optimise your irrigation plan, save water and find the right balance to maximise crop growth and quality. With FarmSense you can anticipate when pasture growth will halt due to a lack of moisture in the summer and when crops will start growing due to rising temperatures in spring. All information is delivered in real time to your smart mobile device.
Graphs
Graphs display data trends so you can see the current situation and where things are headed.
Wireless
Wirelessly connected to the internet gives you access to your data on your phone wherever you are.
Plug & Play
Simple, fuss-free set-up.
Solar-powered
Stand-alone, solar-powered, self-contained and wireless.
Rugged Design
Ruggedly designed and constructed for working farms and Kiwi outdoor environments.

Features
Scalable
All systems are fully scalable to the size of your farm. If your land usage changes, you can add to, move or adjust your existing system with ease.
Easy installation​
Our soil monitoring systems don’t require a specialist installation. They’re DIY, and plug and play ready. Simply install them, connect to the hub and you’re set to go.
Monitor from anywhere in the world
Once the system is working, you’ll never need to do a manual check ever again. As long as you have an internet connection, you can monitor soil from anywhere in the world, 24/7 in real time.
A solution for any connectivity
New Zealand’s patchy rural cellular coverage isn’t an issue with FarmSense. With 4G, Wi-Fi and hybrid LoRa options, you can install a FarmSense solution to any site with any level of cellular coverage.
Ideal for Kiwi farms
Our solar powered systems were developed by New Zealand farmers for New Zealand farmers to remove laborious, time-consuming work from your schedule, so you can concentrate on making a profit.
