OVERVIEW

 

INCYT’s EnviroPro soil moisture probe is the ideal soil moisture probe for dryland scenarios where you want to leave the soil moisture probe in the ground for a prolonged period of time (more than 1 season). This so-called ‘drill and drop’ probe is easy to install, with a step-by-step guide available in the INCYT academy. Understanding soil moisture levels is essential for effective crop management decisions, influencing everything from planting strategies in dryland scenarios to optimising irrigation throughout the crop cycle in irrigated settings. INCYT’s software is industry-leading, meaning that you get the best possible visualisation of your soil moisture probe data, through the most user-friendly app interface. With INCYT you say ‘no’ to connectivity issues, difficult-to-use apps and hard-to-read graphs. You can share this your soil moisture probe data with anyone you like through the INCYT cockpit. 

 

 

HOW IT WORKS

 

INCYT’s soil moisture probes utilise INCYT’s XR network, so you’re not restricted to only using this in areas where you’ve got a cellphone signal - as long as your desired soil moisture probe location is within reach of a INCYT base station, you’re able to use it there! The soil moisture probe gets paired up with an INCYT blue node, giving you up to 8-10 (!) years of battery life!

 

You can either buy a EnviroPro installation kit through INCYT, or we also have a number of these kits available that you can borrow for your installation (as long as you don’t forget to ship it back to us!). With these permanent soil moisture probes we recommend you calculate the desired cable length as accurately as possible so that you have a long enough cable to be able to place your blue node on the fence line, and as little as possible spare cable left to avoid unnecessary cable mess and potential damage.

 

Where exactly you place the soil moisture probe is up to you and your agronomist, but most growers place them at least a couple of meters away from the headland to avoid unrepresentative readings due to extra compaction, causing the soil moisture level to behave differently. Once you’ve picked your spot, you follow the step-by-step guide on installing the probe, you dig a ditch for the cable to go to the fence line that is deep enough so you won’t hit it with your planter or cultivator, and then install the blue node on a pole at the fence line; keeping it at least 2 orso meters up for the best possible reception is a good idea.
