Moisture probes act as a kind of yardstick, helping farmers align their field observations with real moisture data. They can also help optimise irrigation practices.

Using moisture data, farmers can time irrigation to match the actual water needs of their crops. This precise approach has the potential to boost crop yields significantly – essentially aligning human judgment with data driven precision to get the best results from the field.
