Soil moisture probes were one of the first pieces of agtech used by farmers, but things have changed a bit since the 90s. In this episode we hear about how soil moisture probes are informing growers on soil temperature and fertility, how they can be integrated with other sensors, and how data can be sent wirelessly to your phone.   Liam Southam-Rogers from Applied Horticultural Research gives an overview on some of the common challenges growers face when adopting the technology, including the pitfall of installing too many probes.    Sentek is an agtech company that was started more than 30 years ago in South Australia and has now become a world leader in soil moisture technology, with probes installed in hundreds of different types of crops across more than 80 countries. Sentek’s Medi Zaboli talks about what's happening now and what’s on the horizon.  Supply chain manager for WA based Galati Brothers Frank Merenda has been using Sentek’s Drill and Drop probes in a protected cropping operation, growing mediterranean vegetables just outside of Perth.   www.agtechfinder.com
