Radio / Internet Soil Moisture Monitoring

Remotely access soil moisture data no matter where you are using your PC or laptop.

We install MEA Radio / Internet soil moisture monitoring systems, giving irrigation based growers remote access to critical soil moisture data using the Internet.

Reduce or eliminate over-watering

A Radio / Internet soil moisture monitoring system makes it possible for growers to quickly and conveniently view soil moisture data essential to the management of irrigated crops. You can now clearly see the soil drying out, helping you work out when the plants actually need water and also how quickly the root zone wets up after irrigation, helping to reduce or eliminate over-watering.


View, format, analyse soil data using your PC or Laptop

Magpie is the management software which operates MEA data logging systems. It establishes the operating parameters of the system, defining which sensors are being recorded. It also establishes the communications system and displays formatted data in tables and graphs. Magpie has the capability to generate files from data automatically and send them via e-mail, post data directly to a web site, or data can be viewed within the Magpie program itself on your PC or laptop.

  • Self-healing networks for even greater reliability.
  • Soil moisture only, or moisture, temperature and optional EC.
  • Each field station can store its measurements locally.
  • Creates an ultra-reliable network which can deal with its own problems and operate in complex terrain without losing your vital soil moisture readings.
  • Plexus will be available with Gypsum blocks or with EnviroPro probes.
  • Plexus is powered from its own solar panel, charging an internal lithium-ion battery.
  • Plexus is mounted on a pole which is designed to fold out of the way of machinery.
  • Soil moisture data is viewed on your Windows computer using MEA’s Magpie software.
