Irrigation planning
Review moisture changes at selected locations alongside crop water requirements and weather conditions. Use a placement plan that represents the areas you manage.
Envitus soil monitoring
Soil monitoring for irrigation and farm management
Track soil moisture, temperature and selected soil parameters at defined field locations. Envitus connects field readings with monitoring software so your team can review conditions over time and use them in irrigation planning and agronomic assessment.
Match monitoring to the field decisions you need to make
Start with the crop, soil, irrigation areas and information your team needs to review.
Soil and nutrient assessment
Collect selected soil parameters for agronomic review. Define the measurement method and how field records will be compared with soil tests and crop requirements.
Connected farm operations
Bring compatible soil monitors, weather stations and water level devices into a defined monitoring workflow. Scope any connection to existing farm management or control systems.
Choose the soil measurements your application requires
The selected model and probes determine the available parameters. Agree the method, units and verification requirements for each measurement.
- Soil moisture
- Track changes in water content at the probe location. Interpret readings using the soil conditions, crop root zone and sensor calibration.
- Soil temperature
- Record temperature at the selected depth. Keep the installation depth and measurement location with the data for consistent comparison.
- pH
- Assess soil acidity or alkalinity using a suitable probe and measurement procedure. Confirm preparation, calibration and maintenance requirements.
- Electrical conductivity
- Review conductivity using the selected sensor method and units. Interpretation depends on soil conditions and the purpose of the assessment.
- Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
- Selected nutrient configurations report NPK readings. Agree how the method will be verified and how readings will be used alongside laboratory soil tests.

Soil monitoring questions
Which soil measurements can Envitus collect?
Configurations cover soil moisture and temperature, with selected pH, electrical conductivity or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium measurements. The parameter set and measurement method depend on the selected model and probe.
How many probes does a field need?
Probe locations and depths should represent the crop root zone, soil types and irrigation areas being managed. Agree a site plan using the selected sensor instructions and agronomic guidance. The number of probes depends on the field and monitoring objectives.
How should nutrient and conductivity readings be used?
Review the sensor method, units and verification procedure with your agronomist. Use field readings alongside representative laboratory soil tests and crop requirements when planning fertilizer application. Electrical conductivity describes a different measurement from individual nutrient concentrations.
Can Envitus connect to irrigation equipment?
Integration with compatible equipment can be scoped for the project. Define the equipment interfaces, control logic, operating limits and responsibility for manual intervention. Automated actions require an agreed control configuration.
Which communications option should I select?
The datasheets on this page describe specific soil monitor configurations, including LoRa-based variants. Confirm the device interface, gateway requirements, power and coverage at the installation locations before selecting the network.
Are edge analytics, on-device AI and local autonomy available?
These capabilities are available through project-specific configurations. Define the local task, inputs, hardware, firmware and permitted actions. Agree which functions and records remain available during a communication interruption and how the system resumes connected operation.
Does one datasheet cover every soil monitor?
Each datasheet applies to its stated model and configuration. Confirm the model code, measured parameters, communications, power and installation requirements for the equipment being supplied.
