Introducing the Soil Cub+: Bringing GPS, Bluetooth, and App to Portable Soil Monitoring
Understanding soil conditions is one of the most important factors in making informed decisions around irrigation and crop health. While traditional soil meters provide useful snapshots, modern agriculture increasingly demands better data tracking, easier collection, and stronger connectivity.
The new Soil Cub+ builds on the trusted performance of the original Soil Cub by adding powerful new features like Bluetooth connectivity, GPS location tracking, and a mobile app that stores and organizes your data from the field.
Proven Soil Measurements
At its core, the Soil Cub+ continues to deliver accurate soil data. The Soil Cub+ uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) soil sensors, widely considered the gold standard for soil moisture measurement.
With each reading, the Soil Cub+ measures key variables, including:
Soil moisture (Volumetric Water Content)
Soil temperature
Bulk soil electrical conductivity (EC)
Pore water EC
Air temperature
Relative humidity
These measurements provide an immediate snapshot of both soil and environmental conditions, helping growers and researchers make better decisions in the field.
New Bluetooth Connectivity
One of the biggest upgrades to the Soil Cub+ is Bluetooth connectivity, allowing the device to pair directly with your smartphone.
Instead of manually recording readings, the Soil Cub+ sends readings directly to the Soil Cub mobile app. This improves efficiency, reduces the risk of lost notes, streamlines data collection, and makes it easy to review information later.
Built-In GPS Location Tracking
The Soil Cub+ also introduces GPS capabilities, making it easier than ever to track where readings were taken.
Every measurement can be associated with a specific location in the field, helping users:
Compare soil conditions across different areas
Track changes over time in the same location
Identify patterns within zones, fields, gardens, raised beds or research plots
Instead of scattered measurements, users gain organized, location-based data.
A New Mobile App for Data Management
The Soil Cub+ works seamlessly with the Soil Cub App, where all collected readings are stored and organized.
Within the app, users can:
Automatically save readings
Review historical measurements
Organize data by location or zone
Track soil trends over time
This turns simple spot measurements into a growing dataset that can guide long-term management decisions.
Built for the Field
As always, the Soil Cub+ remains a rugged, portable tool designed for real-world conditions. Its durable construction and ease of use make it ideal for field scouting, quick spot checks, and research.
Users simply insert the sensor tines into the soil, take a reading, and the data is instantly captured in the app.
No complicated installations. No permanent probes. Just reliable soil data whenever and wherever you need it.
A Smarter Tool for All Growers
Soil Cub+ is for those who are looking to dig deeper into their soil and start collecting real time data right from the field. From home gardeners, turf managers, green houses, nurseries, researchers, farmers and everyone in between, the Soil Cub+ provides valuable insight into what’s happening below the surface, empowering users to make data driven decisions.
