The Key to Corn and Soybean Profitability
To achieve profitability in corn and soybeans, growers need to be able to make more informed irrigation decisions and manage inputs throughout the season. Most farmers would rather slightly over apply inputs “just to be safe”. However, it is neither practical nor cost-effective to do so when water supplies continue to be limited and pumping costs high. Today, intelligent agtech can help growers get better information, faster, and more easily than ever before.
Leveraging the experience of over a decade in the field, AquaSpy has developed reliable, easy-to-use soil moisture monitoring probes that wirelessly capture data at 4-inch intervals and show soil moisture, temperature and salinity, in addition to how well the crop is consuming available moisture in the active root zone. Easy-to-read charts keep decisions simple. Downward lines indicate available water in the active root zone and upward lines show how well the crop is consuming it. All the grower has to do is stay in the green band. AquaSpy works in any soil type, and crop type is preprogrammed to reflect critical periods of consumption during the growing season.
