Your crop responds to more than soil moisture.

Monitor crop water status in real time.

Understand how your crop is responding—not just how much water is in the soil. Measure the entire soil–plant–atmosphere continuum in one platform.

Key measurements

  • Actual ET
  • Canopy temperature
  • Soil water availability
  • Atmospheric demand

Outcomes that matter

Better irrigation outcomes

Vital Agronomics turns in-field sensor data into smarter decisions that improve yield potential, crop health, and save you time.

Measure what matters across your field

See what your soil, crops, and weather are telling you—so you know when to irrigate and how much water to apply.

  • Soil moisture profile probe installed vertically in an exposed soil pit beside roots

    Soil profile probe

    Measure volumetric water content, soil temperature, and more at multiple depths.

  • Apogee Instruments infrared radiometer on a pole mount in an orchard, aimed toward the canopy

    Canopy temperature

    Detect canopy temperature anomalies and water stress before it impacts yield.

  • Handheld soil water potential sensor held above dry field soil with cable

    Soil tension sensors

    Directly measure water availability in the root zone—critical for irrigation management.

  • Direct evapotranspiration sensor with stacked radiation shield and pole mount bracket

    Direct evapotranspiration (ET) sensor

    Direct evapotranspiration (ET) sensors measure how much water your fields actually need, enabling efficient irrigation management.

  • Grower using a pressure chamber measurement instrument in an almond orchard

    Pressure chamber measurements

    Ground-truth crop water status with pressure chamber readings that show how plants are responding to field conditions.

  • All-in-one weather station on a field pole with bird deterrent spikes, solar panel, and logger enclosure

    Weather monitoring station

    Get the full picture of your field conditions in one place. All-in-one weather stations track everything from temperature and humidity to wind and solar radiation—giving you the insights you need to make better irrigation and crop management decisions.

Vital Platform at a glance

See what your fields need. Act with confidence.

Vital Agronomics web dashboard satellite map with soil tension readings, sensor pins, and kPa legend

See what's happening across your fields

View live sensor readings on a map and quickly spot which fields need attention—before you walk the field.

Desktop Charts view with soil tension over time, refill and critical thresholds, and green, yellow, and red status bands

Know when to irrigate—and when to wait

Track soil tension against refill and critical thresholds so you can time irrigation based on real field conditions, not a schedule.

Vital Agronomics web dashboard Alerts view listing field alerts, soil tension warnings, and irrigation guidance

Act before stress impacts your crop

Get clear alerts when fields cross critical thresholds—so you know where to increase irrigation and can respond in minutes, not days.
