Paul-Tech’s science-based soil stations will soon benefit from a significant upgrade – the technology is gaining a third sensor.
Paul-Tech continuously develops its research-driven soil stations and the supporting information system for farmers. The new generation of stations, whose production will begin in December 2025, will include the option for a third sensor, enabling the monitoring of soil water and nutrient dynamics at three different depths.
This enhancement will give farmers an even more detailed real-time overview of nutrient and water movement within the soil at various depths, helping them better understand how fertilisers and weather conditions affect soil health and plant nutrition.
“In agriculture, it’s vital to understand how processes related to nutrients and soil water actually work,” explains Paul-Tech’s Head of Science, Tiit Plakk. “The third sensor allows us to observe changes across a wider soil profile and see how the upper, middle, and lower layers interact. This helps farmers make even more precise, data-driven decisions and is particularly valuable given the increasing frequency of dry and excessively wet periods.”
The addition of the third sensor marks another step towards Paul-Tech’s goal of providing the most accurate real-time insights into soil conditions, supporting farmers in both increasing yields and moving towards more sustainable production.
Paul-Tech is a science-based agricultural platform that enables farmers to make more precise daily decisions through real-time soil data. The company’s soil sensors are developed based on several generations of scientific research and allow the measurement of fertiliser efficiency in crop production as well as the monitoring of various processes related to soil water and nutrient movement in real time.
