Every bag of fertilizer says it improves yield. Your soil data says whether you actually need it — and how much. Soil sensors measure pH, moisture and NPK so you fertilize with precision, not assumption.
Fertilizer waste comes from applying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Soil sensors make both decisions data-driven.
Soil sensors measure pH and moisture continuously, 24/7. Soil pH determines nutrient availability — even if NPK levels are adequate, the wrong pH means plants can't absorb them.
NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) cannot be measured continuously — the sensor takes periodic readings at defined intervals. Each assessment tells you exactly what nutrient balance your soil has at that moment.
Our platform compares your readings to crop-specific nutrient demand curves. A potato at tuber initiation needs different nutrients to one at vegetative growth. Recommendations are calibrated accordingly.
You receive a specific message: which fertilizer product to apply, at what rate per hectare, and — based on soil moisture — whether soil conditions are right for application or if you should wait for rain.
Each measurement answers a different fertilizer question — and together they eliminate both under-application and over-application.
The master variable of nutrient availability. At pH below 5.5, phosphorus becomes locked in the soil regardless of how much you apply. Continuous monitoring.
Dry soil blocks nutrient movement. Fertilizer applied to soil below 30% moisture fails to dissolve and reach roots. Moisture data tells you whether to apply now or wait. Continuous monitoring.
Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are the three primary macronutrients. Periodic assessment shows the actual balance in your soil — not what you applied last season. Assessment-based measurement.
Most farmers apply the same basal fertilizer rate every season regardless of what the soil actually contains. That leads to over-applying N while P or K are critically deficient — spending more and getting less.
Applying only what the soil actually lacks eliminates the 20–30% of fertilizer routinely wasted on nutrients already present in adequate quantities.
Acidic soils (common in Central Kenya highlands after heavy rainfall) lock phosphorus out of plant reach. Liming first and fertilizing second prevents the most common cause of fertilizer failure.
Fertilizer applied to excessively dry or waterlogged soil underperforms. Moisture sensors tell you the optimal application window so every kg of product reaches roots.
Maize has two critical fertilizer windows: basal at planting (P+K) and nitrogen top-dressing at V6 (knee-high). Sensors tell you which nutrients are actually needed at each stage and whether soil moisture supports application.
Stage-specific timingPotato yield and quality are particularly sensitive to potassium deficiency and soil pH. Farmers in highland Kenya routinely under-apply K while over-applying nitrogen — sensors reverse the imbalance.
Quality-critical nutrientsIn hydroponic systems, soil sensors in the growing media provide continuous EC (electrical conductivity) and pH data — enabling precise nutrient solution management for lettuce, herbs and leafy greens.
Continuous EC monitoringA soil sensor in your field gives you pH and moisture data continuously — and periodic NPK assessments tell you exactly which nutrients to apply and which to skip. Stop spending on what's already there.
