How It Works
EarthScout® is a revolutionary technology for measuring real-time growing conditions, 24/7—above and below the ground. Our easy-to-install sensors capture multiple data points – in the soil and within the local growing environment – giving you up-to-the minute field information between zones. Data is wirelessly communicated back to your smartphone or desktop computer through an intuitive interface with easy-to-read:
- Real-time data & historical trends
- Growing degree units
- Alerts, notifications & helpful tools
- Journal for managing notes, tasks, soil test data, tissue sample data, photos, and more
- Links to crop specific reference materials
Over 20 Sensors to Choose From
EarthScout lets you better react to changes in the micro-climates and soils that surround your developing plants. With our plug-and-play, industrial grade EarthScout sensors, you can receive real-time crop data directly to your phone—all season long.

Access field-by-field or zone-by-zone growing conditions
Now you can carefully monitor the growing conditions of your crops real-time, with one click on your phone. No matter what you grow, where you grow it, or how you grow it, EarthScout can be placed almost anywhere, and configured to give you the data you need, when you need it. Explore some of our examples below, or contact us to learn how EarthScout could go to work for you.
Typical installation of 4-5 EarthScout Units evenly distributed across a 40 acre plot. Number may vary based on zones and soil uniformity.
Typical installation of 4-5 EarthScout Units evenly distributed across a 20 acre orchard. Number may vary based on zones and soil uniformity.
Typical installation of one EarthScout Unit per 1,000 – 2,000SF depending on zoning and species.
Set Alerts & Take Action
You can even set alerts on your phone – reducing risk by assuring you won’t over (or under) apply costly crop inputs, and supporting important decisions regarding:
| Aeration | Graphing | Mowing |
| Air Control | Harvesting | Pinching |
| Cloning | Humidification | Planting |
| Cultivating | Insuring | Pruning |
| Documenting | Irrigation | Ripening |
| Fertilization | Lighting | Soil Testing |
| Frazing | Mapping | Spraying |
