Reliab le, LoRaWAN connectiv ity means armers can know the weather across their arms in a highly granu lar way and hav e ll traceab ility ov er time. SOIL MOISTURE Wirelessly -connected soil moistu re sensors enab le armers to make etter irrigation decisions or increased ield, with smart soil moistu re measu rements. rov iders su ch as ensoterra prov ide cost-ef ectiv e sensors that measu re at the activ e root one to ensu re crops are optimally irrigated. rob es are compatib le with all soil ty pes, inclu ding clay clay -loam, saline clay sand, and peat. Watertight and weatherproof prob es are rob st and meant to e lef t in the field. With wireless LoRaWAN connectivity, probe placement is flexible and installation is simple so devices can easily be moved around fields based on irrigation needs. SOIL FERTILIZATION In addition to understanding soil moisture, it's a significant improv ement or armers to know the ertiliz ation statu s of their fields. Precision agriculture powered by sensor data enab les armers to collect and access soil ality data in the orm of salinity aeration, respiration, air temperatu re, light, hu midity and nitrogen, phosphoru s, and potassiu m NP lev els. endors of er sensors that take readings at mu ltiple depths in the soil and that are simple to set p, enab ling real-time alerts to e sent to armers' phones and laptops. he day s of lanket ertiliz ing an entire arm and the wasted cost and ef ort that entails are gone. nstead, armers can target areas or increased ertiliz ation or minimiz e ertiliz ation in areas that already hav e su itab le lev els to deliv er good ields.
