The Sentek Drill & Drop is a fully encapsulated, easy to install, soil measurement probe. It is ideal for measuring soil moisture, salinity, and temperature in a crop's root zone, which optimizes irrigation efficiency. The probe is available in 3 lengths to tailor the probe to a specific root depth. The probe is also well-suited to seasonal applications and situations where the probes may need to be moved during the monitoring season.
The Sentek Drill & Drop is useful for:
- Improving crop water use efficiency
- Increasing crop yield
- Crop water savings
- Vineyard moisture monitoring
- Fertilizer management
- Irrigation management
Maximize Crop Yield, Minimize Water Cost
The Drill & Drop is well suited for irrigation management applications. By measuring the moisture profile and comparing the root zone to the depth of moisture in the soil, users can make decisions about how much irrigation to apply and when it is necessary. This optimizes the irrigation application, which both increases crop yield and minimizes the cost of unnecessary irrigation. When used for irrigation management, the probe can quickly pay for itself in water savings and increased yield.
