WHAT WE DO
Other Applications for Soil Moisture Monitoring
Soil moisture sensors are used to characterize the hydrological requirements of biomass crops, which need to be cultivated in order to produce ethanol. Agronomists that specialize in biomass look at new ways to ferment crops to increase the ethanol yields. The goal is to be able to produce ethanol from not only the fermentation of the fruit, but the stems, leaves, and roots.
About us
GroPoint is a leading brand in soil moisture monitoring technologies, with thousands of soil sensors in use across more than 100 countries worldwide. We are known for our innovative solutions and high accuracy, helping farmers and growers optimize their irrigation practices and improve crop yields.
At GroPoint, as industry leaders, we understand the importance of having a transparent and customer-centric setup. With our emphasis and commitment to innovation, accuracy, and customer satisfaction, we communicate what we do for our customers and how we work to meet their needs in soil moisture monitoring.
We Innovate to Deliver More Value From Our Sensors.
I like these probes because they have given us good reliability and have been out in the Arizona heat for almost three years, with little or no trouble. The ability to make a single insertion and get distinct soil moisture profiles, i.e., 0-30 cm, 30-60 cm, efc., has given us the advantage of minimal soil disturbance while getting reliable soil moisture values.
This is what I openly say to not only my customers but also to NRCS engineers and other interested parties: ‘I believe that the GroPoint sensor provides the best value to my customer because of its accuracy, reliability and the fact that it requires no additional maintenance or calibration once installed.
The instrument receives a fair amount of ‘abuse’, being carted over logging slash, through salmonberry and other brush vegetation and has been used in the rain. However, it has been rugged and reliable. The measurements generated are believable and repeatable and nicely relate to patterns of precipitation occurring at the site.
The alternative to [the GroPoint Profile] is trenching with horizontal insertion of numerous (short) probes. The effort of trenching alone is a deterrent, and the disturbance of soil and root systems is yet more of a deterrent. I find it difficult to fathom why a researcher would use this alternative.
I have used GroPoint sensors and data loggers to schedule deficit irrigation over thousands of acres of premium wine grapes since 1999. The data on soil moisture status has proved accurate and consistent during and between seasons. Importantly, running a network of 80+ sensors over this time, | have had only 2 sensors and one logger fail from non-mechanical causes. I also have a network of [competitive] loggers/sensors, which demonstrated a 15-25% failure rate in the first 2 seasons.
