Drill & Drop measures soil moisture and temperature, with optional salinity, in an encapsulated profile probe from 30 to 120 cm.
The tapered shape supports an undisturbed, slurry-free installation. The probe can be buried to reduce machinery exposure and suits both seasonal crop monitoring and permanent installations. Match its wired output to the logger or telemetry unit.
Vegetables, vines, berries, orchards and sites where fast installation and extraction matter.
Choose the salinity option if needed. Standard wired probes need external telemetry. Sentek also offers a separate Bluetooth model; Bluetooth is not a built-in feature of every Drill & Drop.
Features vary by model and configuration. “Not specified” means the cited product information does not confirm the feature.
Compare measurements, power and connectivity before choosing a system.
Choose a sensorFrequency domain methods infer water content from an electrical response related to the soil's dielectric properties. The term covers several circuit arrangements, so the model's measurement and calibration matter more than the abbreviation alone.

Understand your soilThe layers beneath a field can have very different water and rooting conditions. Describing those layers before installation helps place sensors where their readings answer useful management questions.

Manage irrigationA soil moisture reading becomes useful when it is connected to a crop, a rooting depth and a management threshold. Learn how to interpret the profile before deciding when and how much to irrigate.
