Soil Moisture Monitoring Systems
Water is one of the most valuable resources in modern agriculture. Understanding how moisture moves through the soil profile is essential for optimising irrigation and maintaining healthy crops.
OCM Agrisystems soil monitoring systems provide continuous measurements of soil moisture and temperature at multiple depths, giving growers clear insight into water availability within the root zone.
By combining reliable soil probes with remote telemetry and cloud analytics, farmers gain real-time visibility into soil conditions across their fields.
Why Soil Monitoring Matters
Without accurate soil data, irrigation decisions often rely on estimates or fixed schedules.
This can result in:
overwatering and wasted resources
reduced root development
nutrient leaching
increased irrigation costs
Soil moisture monitoring allows farmers to apply water only when crops need it.
Benefits include:
improved irrigation efficiency
reduced water usage
better crop growth and root health
improved fertiliser retention
data-driven irrigation scheduling
Multi-Depth Soil Monitoring
OCM soil probes measure moisture conditions at multiple depths within the soil profile.
Typical measurements include:
volumetric water content
soil temperature
moisture distribution through root zones
infiltration and drainage behaviour
These insights allow growers to understand how water moves through soil and how effectively irrigation reaches plant roots.
Integration with Farm Telemetry
All soil sensor data is automatically transmitted to the OCM cloud dashboard.
Farmers can:
view live soil moisture graphs
track long-term trends
compare fields and irrigation zones
receive alerts when soil moisture falls below thresholds
This transforms soil monitoring into a practical decision-support tool for everyday farm management.
