Unlike many soil moisture sensors, Soiltech Beacons can be buried at any depth — and even moved throughout the season as root systems expand.

How can you make sure your potatoes, onions, or sugar beets get the best chance at successful germination? By using Soiltech Beacons as soil temperature monitoring devices to pick the perfect planting dates.

Beacons also measure soil EC sensors so you can flush salts below the root zone when needed, encourage microbial activity, and monitor nutrient leaching.

When should you pull the trigger on harvest, or pause to protect crop quality? Soiltech Beacons track real-time soil temperature sensors for agriculture so you don’t have to guess.

With a special CO₂ cap and a rugged antenna, Beacons can be placed into storage bins or piles to monitor temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels. (Optional Add-On CO2 meter recommended but not required to operate)

Monitor temperature, humidity, and CO₂ levels in storage with onions, potatoes, grain, and more.

Are you still relying on public weather stations miles away to make critical farming decisions? There's a better way.

Mounted above or nearby the canopy, Beacons function as agricultural weather stations, measuring rainfall, wind direction, humidity, temperature, and wind speed directly in your fields. (Optional Add-On Weather Station recommended but not required to operate)

All data is transmitted to our online platform where conditions are recorded for historical reference. The system automatically calculates Growing Degree Days (GDD) to help plan post-planting applications and harvest timing. 

Users can even set temperature thresholds that trigger alerts for vineyard or orchard frost monitoring or extreme heat prevention activities.

Once your crop has been harvested, dig up your Beacon and toss it into a truck. It will effortlessly trace crop movement from field to storage or processor with GPS crop tracking sensors. 

Beacons also come equipped with on-board, industrial-grade accelerometers. When in Bruise Mode, they can be used to identify processing stages with excess bruising risk in real time. Make appropriate modifications to reduce bruising and prevent unnecessary crop spoilage.

The Soiltech Solution is compatible with any crop. The hardware’s rugged build and the software’s customizability allow the toolset to focus on specific crop types, delivering immediately valuable data calibrated to any unique environment and developmental nuances of your crop.
