Optimise crop growth

Timing your sowing can be challenging, but replacing guesswork with local weather data ensures your seeds thrive in the best possible conditions. 

Having access to real-time soil temperature and rainfall measurements allows you to make informed decisions, leading to rapid and uniform germination and ultimately maximizing your yield at harvest. 

Take a look at the picture: the same field was planted two days apart, and the difference in soil temperature between the two dates significantly impacted the quality of the crops.

Why soil temperature is important for sowing

Different crops have an ideal temperature for sowing to ensure optimal growth, making your local weather conditions key to timing. Soil temperature is influenced by factors like soil type, color, slope, moisture levels, and weather conditions such as cloud cover and air temperature.

That’s why you can’t rely on general reports about soil temperature. Nothing short of an in-field sensor will do the trick - it doesn’t get much more local than that.

The secret to high yields lies in the timing of your seeding and the further weather conditions to ensure your plants thrive in optimal conditions.

"I often look at the soil temperature and follow it closely when we’re sowing and to see how it develops during spring. I also track it during fall to know when the growth slows down."
