Paul-Tech’s science-based soil stations will soon benefit from a significant upgrade – the technology is gaining a third sensor.
Paul-Tech continuously improves its soil stations and the supporting information system for farmers. Production of the new generation of soil stations will begin in December 2025. These stations offer an optional third sensor that allows farmers to monitor soil water and nutrient dynamics at three different depths.
This enhancement gives farmers a more detailed real-time overview of nutrient and water movement at different depths. It also helps them 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. It shows 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 toward Paul-Tech’s goal of providing the most accurate real-time insights into soil conditions. It supports farmers in increasing yields and moving toward more sustainable production.
Paul-Tech is a science-based agricultural platform that helps farmers make more precise daily decisions with real-time soil data. The company’s soil sensors are built on several generations of scientific research. They measure fertiliser efficiency and monitor soil water and nutrient movement in real time.
