en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. agricultural technology company CropX Technologies recently launched the new Apex soil sensor to expand the hardware capabilities of its digital agriculture platform and enhance monitoring of soil conditions in the root zone. The Apex soil sensor measures soil moisture, temperature, and salinity at different depths, providing a continuous data view of conditions within the root zone.

Headquartered in Netanya, Israel, CropX focuses on developing digital agricultural solutions, according to publicly available information. Its products include soil sensors, weather stations, and canopy monitoring tools, and its platform serves farms in over 70 countries worldwide. The Apex soil sensor is available in three length configurations: 12 inches, 24 inches, and 36 inches. It records data for each layer at 4-inch intervals, making it suitable for crops with well-developed root systems that require deep soil moisture monitoring.

The Apex soil sensor can connect to CropX's telemetry system, uploading data to the platform for generating irrigation recommendations and soil management analyses. Field tests were conducted across various soil types and irrigation scenarios. Comparisons between sensor readings and laboratory soil samples showed stable data performance during wet and dry cycles.

CropX CEO Tomer Tzach stated that the product is designed to match soil monitoring needs for different crops and field conditions, offering greater deployment flexibility. The company has not disclosed the price of the Apex soil sensor or its expected market adoption rate. Plans include promoting the sensor to more regions and crop types in the future.
