Hydra Scout Sensor

At the heart of the Soil Scout solution is the Hydra 100 Scout sensor.

It operates underground without maintenance. It measures data for three critical soil parameters: moisture, salinity and temperature.

1. Battery – Encapsulated lithium battery with a life-span of up to 20 years.

2. Antenna – Patented underground antenna that transfers data efficiently in any soil conditions

3. Temperature – The digital temperature sensor gives you the accurate levels to ensure the right transfer of nutrients

4. Moisture – The sensor measures the volumetric soil water content to monitor turf hydration levels.

5. Salinity – Allows salinity in the soil to be measured to prevent a decline in turf quality and appearance

Data monitoring benefits

When you monitor the soil quality below the field surface, you can:

  • Improve the surface quality
  • Reduce maintenance costs
  • Increase work efficiency
  • Use water more efficiently
  • Optimise product applications consistently helping to identify trends.
  • Diminish the need for expensive water additives and surfactants
