climavi is a patented, solar-powered wireless sensor designed to be installed once and left in the field. A single probe records soil moisture and soil temperature at three depths — the root-zone profile satellites cannot see — and transmits every 15 minutes to a compact receiver station several kilometres away. No trenching, no mains power, no scheduled battery change. Additional sensors for rainfall, wind, air temperature, humidity and radiation connect via SDI-12, so one station serves as a complete on-farm soil and weather reference.

In practice each unit becomes a defined observation point: a ground-truth station that confirms or corrects the irrigation and fertilization recommendation before water, fertilizer or diesel is committed. Sited by zone — knoll, mid-slope, depression — a handful of probes describe how an entire quarter section actually behaves, season after season.

Applications: dryland and irrigated field crops, irrigation scheduling, seeding and harvest timing, research plots, orchad trees and green spaces.
