In the process of addressing the challenges of global food security and water shortage, a profound understanding of the soil environment in the root zone has become crucial. With its outstanding accuracy and stability, HONDE’s integrated Teros12 soil sensor is becoming the “underground eye” for agricultural experts and growers across four continents, providing previously hard-to-obtain key data for irrigation and fertilization decisions.
Midwestern United States: The “Efficiency Engine” of Large-scale Farms
In the vast corn and soybean fields of Nebraska, USA, the management of water resources is directly related to the economic benefits of the farms. The HONDE Teros12 sensor buried in the root zone of crops continuously monitors the soil volumetric moisture content and electrical conductivity (EC). These data are transmitted in real time to the farmer’s decision support platform via wireless networks. By accurately assessing the soil moisture condition, the irrigation system is activated only when needed, avoiding the waste of traditional timed irrigation. While maintaining production, it has achieved water conservation of over 20%. In addition, the changing trend of EC values provides a scientific basis for the timing of topdressing, ensuring the efficient utilization of nutrients.
Netherlands: The “Digital Root System” of Smart Greenhouses
In modern glass greenhouses in the Netherlands, tomatoes and cucumbers grow in precisely controlled coconut coir substrates. Here, the HONDE Teros12 soil sensor is directly inserted into the root zone of the crop, and its high-precision water and electrical conductivity data are the lifeline for maintaining the optimal growth environment. Based on the readings of Teros12, the environmental computer continuously fine-tuning the injection formula and frequency of the water and fertilizer integration system to ensure that the plants are always in the optimal range of water and nutrient stress, thereby maximizing fruit quality and yield, and pushing the refinement of high-end greenhouse agriculture to a new height.
Brazil: The “Guardian Sentinel” of Rainforest Ecological Research
At an ecological research station on the edge of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, scientists are using HONDE Teros12 soil sensors to monitor the impact on the soil microenvironment after forest reclamation is converted into farmland. Sensors have been collecting soil moisture and salinity dynamics under different land use types for a long time and stably. These valuable data provide crucial evidence for understanding hydrological changes and soil degradation processes in the forefront of agriculture, and offer indispensable scientific support for formulating policies that balance agricultural development and ecological protection.
Australia: The “Recovery Monitor” for Ecological Restoration in Mining Areas
In the mining area restoration project in western Australia, assessing whether the reclaimed vegetation has established a self-sustaining ecosystem is a long-term challenge. The Teros12 soil sensor network deployed in the remediation area continuously tracks the dynamic changes of soil moisture. By analyzing the data, researchers can assess whether the root systems of young trees can effectively utilize deep soil moisture, thereby scientifically evaluating the survival potential of vegetation and the success rate of ecological restoration, which greatly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of environmental management in mining areas.
From optimizing the irrigation of global granaries to directing precise drip irrigation in European greenhouses; From safeguarding the ecological balance of the Earth’s lungs to assessing the green recovery of mining areas, the HONDE Teros12 soil sensor, with its reliable data, is quietly contributing indispensable wisdom and strength to the sustainable development of global agriculture and ecological environment protection deep underground.
