Teralytic's real time soil sensors
summary
LoRaWAN-connected, meter-long probes measure NPK plus pH, moisture, temperature and gases at 15, 45 and 90 cm and transmit every 15 minutes to a cloud API. Pilots claim 3–5 ppm accuracy versus lab samples, typical grower savings of 15–45% on fertilizer, and deployments from small berry blocks to millions of sensors. Integrations include John Deere and Trimble for variable-rate application and a blockchain provenance demo with Sweetgreen; current pricing is about $500/sensor/year with targets to fall.
