Every irrigation decision made without root-zone data is a guess. Soiltech Beacons measure what's actually happening in the soil. GrowthLab tells you what to do about it — before you've over-applied or under-watered.
Irrigation and input decisions made on schedule — rather than on soil conditions — waste water, waste inputs, and often still miss the optimal window. The tools to fix this have existed in research for decades. Soiltech puts them in your pocket.
Water applied beyond field capacity doesn't benefit the crop — it carries nutrients below the root zone and increases runoff risk.
Missing the irrigation window at tuber initiation, bulb fill, or grain fill causes yield loss that no late-season water can recover.
Fertiliser and crop protection applied without field-level soil context routinely underperforms or is wasted entirely.
Calendar-based irrigation ignores the actual variability between fields, soil types, and crop stages on your specific farm.
Beacons measure what's in the ground. GrowthLab models what the crop needs next. Together they close the gap between what growers guess and what they should know.
Soil moisture at multiple depths, temperature, and canopy conditions — streaming continuously from every field. Your soil, right now.
ET demand, crop growth stage via GDD, and root zone moisture deficit synthesised into a single irrigation need indicator — calibrated to your crop.
When soil moisture drops below your threshold or ET demand outpaces supply, GrowthLab fires an alert with a recommendation — how much, which blocks, and the window you have.
Post-season yield and quality records link back to every irrigation decision. Each season the model learns what worked — and sharpens.
Not a dashboard showing soil moisture. A system that tells you what to do with it — before the crop tells you it was wrong.
Visual stress symptoms appear 24–72 hours after damage is done. Beacon soil moisture alerts fire before the threshold is crossed — giving you time to act, not react.
ET models built on regional weather stations miss the variability between your sandy loam and heavier ground. Beacons measure actual moisture deficit in each field.
GrowthLab tracks fertiliser and crop protection against soil conditions and outcomes. If an input isn't performing, you'll know this season — not after harvest.
Growers in our case study cut water application meaningfully with no yield loss — because they stopped filling already-adequate soil and started responding to actual deficit.
When you know Block 4A is fine and Block 2B needs water, equipment goes only to Block 2B. That's the 250K gallons of gasoline saved in our case study.
Each season of labeled irrigation decisions and yield outcomes makes GrowthLab more accurate. By year three you have intelligence a competitor can't replicate.
Irrigation and input optimisation draws on two layers of the Soiltech Agronomy Suite — the hardware that measures reality and the intelligence layer that tells you what to do about it.
Soil moisture at root zone depth, canopy temperature, humidity, and CO₂ — streaming continuously from every field. The data foundation that replaces guesswork with measurement.
Explore BeaconsLog irrigation events and input applications via AIVA voice input. Every application timestamped and field-associated — building the record GrowthLab learns from.
Explore InsightsCustom irrigation and input performance models calibrated to your crops, soils, and thresholds. Fires alerts before the window closes.
Explore GrowthLabRoot zone moisture in Blocks 1–4 trending toward deficit while Blocks 5–8 remain adequate. GrowthLab fires an alert for Blocks 1–4 only — with the estimated application volume to return to optimal range before the next hot spell.
GrowthLab tracks GDD from transplant. At bulbing initiation, ET demand triggers an elevated-priority irrigation alert — because water stress at this stage compresses bulb size in a way no late-season application corrects.
Soil moisture, temperature, and canopy humidity combine in a GrowthLab model to identify the optimal spray window for fungicide uptake and minimum evaporation loss.
GrowthLab links every fertiliser application to soil conditions at time of application and yield outcomes. Applications under sub-optimal soil temperature show reduced ROI — informing next season's timing.
