The SOLYX Go packs the research-grade accuracy and long-term durability of METER’s soil moisture sensors into a simple push-and-read form-factor that’s ready to use out of the box.

  • One-button operation records soil moisture, temperature, and EC in seconds
  • Measurements are timestamped and GPS-tagged, allowing quick visualization of soil moisture and pore water EC over time
  • CDX technology ensures consistent measurement-to-measurement and sensor-to-sensor accuracy, regardless of soil salinity

The future of soil surface measurement starts here

Get more out of your soil surface measurements with the CDX technology inside our SOLYX Go push-and-read sensor. With the push of a button, the SOLYX Go measures soil moisture, temperature, bulk electrical conductivity, and pore water electrical conductivity. Designed and proven through rigorous testing, the SOLYX Go provides accurate, repeatable measurements from device to device, season after season, year after year.

That means the SOLYX Go you unbox today will provide consistent measurement accuracy today, tomorrow, and years into the future, and those measurements will agree with any other SOLYX Go used on your site.

Data collection, simplified

Every measurement taken by the SOLYX Go is correlated with timestamps and GPS locations by the mobile device connected to the sensor. Review historical measurement data in ZENTRA Cloud to monitor the effectiveness of your irrigation strategy, or look at a daily map of measurements to easily identify portions of your field receiving too little—or too much—water.

Even better, importing this data into a ZENTRA Cloud project allows you to access and visualize SOLYX Go data from any web-connected device. Share your data directly with clients, stakeholders, groundskeepers, or other project team members with a link, or download it for further analysis in third-party software.

Easier EC mapping and spot-testing

Periodic pore water EC measurements can mean the difference between excessive salt buildup and timely soil flushes. That’s where the SOLYX Go excels. Generate a complete map of soil moisture, bulk EC, and pore water EC across the soil surface in the time it takes you to walk your site. Take the guesswork out of conditions affecting your plants by performing spot-checks to compare current EC values with historical trends.

Keep the SOLYX Go with your other site visit gear and get high-quality, actionable data, not intuition based on appearance and texture.

Remote sensing validation

Remote sensing methods, such as aerial or satellite soil moisture measurements, are often used for their speed and scale of data collection. The precision and ease-of-use of the SOLYX Go allow you to collect soil moisture, EC, and temperature data at a greater resolution, so you can ground truth and scale your remotely sensed data.

Engineered for endurance

Whether you’re measuring soil moisture a few times each season or every day of the year, the SOLYX Go delivers long-term stability and reliability. The aluminum body and retracting needles are designed to provide good soil-to-sensor contact in every measurement, ensuring accuracy in every data point. Robust stainless-steel needles and an epoxy sensor fill resist damage and corrosion, even under harsh conditions.

The result is a push-and-read sensor that’s ready to deliver the data you need every time you pick it up.

Key features

  • Measurements are taken instantly, so you can keep your day moving without waiting for a sensor reading
  • Measurement accuracy is unaffected by soil salinity
  • High measurement-to-measurement and sensor-to-sensor accuracy out of the box and over the life of the device
  • Robust, stainless-steel needles resist corrosion, bending, and wear due to regular use
  • Measurement data is automatically logged and stored in ZENTRA Cloud—no complicated spreadsheet management, no manual downloads from sensors, and simple sharing with administrators, grounds managers, clients and other stakeholders
