Mobile Soil Moisture Monitoring
Real-time Data from Profiling Soil Moisture Probes for Seasonal & Annual Crops
48in (80cm) Probe Package components | Wildeye multi-level soil moisture monitoring solutions combine the renowned Wildeye telemetry and software platform with accurate and reliable capacitance soil moisture probes for collection of detailed soil information (water content, temperature and EC/salinity) throughout soil profiles. The mobile capacitance probes are installed with tapered augers and do not require a slurry installation. They are ideally suited for annual/short-term crops where frequent movement of the probe is required. The rugged Wildeye hardware is small and low profile and well suited to sit below the crop canopy and below the height of most machinery. |
Connectivity is managed by the award-winning Wildeye 4G IoT telemetry device. Data is accessible through the Wildeye portal from where it can be viewed and exported. Scroll down to view complete Permanent Soil Monitoring Package Specifications.
Components
InstallationInstallation requires 4G IoT signal is available at site, and the Wildeye phone app must be downloaded and used to capture data during the installation. Wildeye’s network of staff and distribution partners are experienced soil scientists and agronomists, with a fixation on technology to help farmers, and unmatched collective soil moisture probe installation experience. Guidelines for installation of the mobile probe are here, and additional training can be provided to internal staff. |
