Multi-Depth Soil Sensor

Apex

Measure soil moisture, temperature, and salinity (EC) across the entire root zone in real time.

Monitor Root Zone Soil Conditions

CropX Apex is a high-resolution, multi-depth soil sensor that measures soil moisture, temperature, and salinity (EC) across the entire root zone in real time. Designed for flexibility and precision, it delivers detailed soil insights to support irrigation and crop management decisions.

High-resolution measurements every 10 cm (4 in.) across the soil profile
Available in 30 cm (12 in.), 60 cm (24 in.), and 90 cm (36 in.) to match different crop rooting depths
Integrates seamlessly with the CropX platform for automated insights and AI-driven recommendations
Smooth tapered cylinder design minimizes soil disruption and allows for slurry-free, minimal-disturbance installation and extraction across a wide range of soil types
