Use EarthScout to 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 |
How Many EarthScout’s Do You Need?
Try one EarthScout and gradually reduce your irrigation to safe levels just above the wilting point and save an average of 30% on irrigation costs!
Get two and place one in your best field, and the other in your worst field. Use the data from the best field as a guide to adjust water and nutrients in the other field until both grow well!
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.
