View Graphs Types and Tools

The data gathered from our soil moisture sensors will be interpreted and displayed in the following graphs:

  • VWC Graph: The amount of moisture each sensor is measuring as a percentage. 
  • Profile Sum Graph: The amount of moisture measured in the entire soil profile as well as full and refill points. The soil moisture status bar uses this graph to display yesterday's, today's, and tomorrow's moisture. 
  • Root Zone Sum Graph: Require manual setup. Most useful when managing a shallow rooted crop. Root zoot sum only measures moisture available in the effective root zone.
  • Stacked Sensor Graph: Displays the volumetric water content (VWC) in a stacked format, per sensor depth.
  • Electrical Conductivity (EC): Displays the EC (ability of soil to conduct an electrical current, and is influenced by the presence of ions in the soil) at each sensor depth. This can be useful for identifying nutrient movement through the soil, and salinity management.
  • Temperature: Displays the temperature at each sensor.
