Wireless Soil Moisture Sensors

Most farms still rely on routine checks, gut feel, or outdated sensor setups to guide irrigation.
‍
Guess-work leads to wasted water, inconsistent yields, and hours spent walking the fields to check soil conditions. It doesn't have to be that way.

With Verdi, you can monitor soil moisture (and many other sensor types) in real time, and immediately use that sensor data to irrigate your crops better. That's irrigation automation.

Water prices for growers keep going up. Controlling use with irrigation automation can help reduce usage

Two easy and affordable ways to collect data from sensors.

Option 1

Connect soil moisture sensors with the Verdi SDI-12 Wireless Sensor Connector

Our wireless sensor connector allows you to place, or connect existing sensors anywhere they're needed. It connects a wide range of popular SDI-12 compatible sensors

Why choose this option?

You already have a soil moisture sensor installed and want to retrofit it to work with Verdi.

Highlights:

  • Solar-powered and maintenance-free
  • Simple mounting with no new cabling needed
  • Rugged outdoor-rated enclosure
  • Apply irrigation automatically based on sensor data

Easily Collect and Make Decisions with Farm Data

Whichever sensor option you choose, Verdi's Dashboard turns your soil data into smart irrigation decisions.

All Verdi-connected sensors feed into the Verdi Dashboard App, through the Verdi Wireless Gateway. The dashboard organizes your moisture data alongside pump activity, valve status, and NDVI imagery so you can make all the data work for you.

Visualize soil moisture trends, set up real-time alerts, and automate irrigations based on field conditions — all from your phone or computer.

Our customers report reducing their 4–5 hour daily irrigation management job down to just 15 minutes, achieving better water use efficiency, healthier crops, and higher yields.
