Sicily drought: get more yield from every drop of water
When water is rationed, calendar irrigation costs you harvest. SoilSense sensors measure real soil moisture, parcel by parcel, and tell you when and how much to irrigate — up to 45% less water for the same yield.
Zero risk: if you don't love it, you get your money back — no questions asked.

Why here, why now
Sicily is among Europe's most drought-exposed regions: long summers, falling reserves and increasingly frequent irrigation rationing managed by the land-reclamation consortia. In these conditions the costliest mistake is calendar irrigation — too much where it isn't needed, too little where it is. Measuring real soil moisture is what separates a saved season from a lost one.
Built for Sicilian crops
Citrus, olives, table grapes and vegetables: high-value crops, sensitive to water and salt stress. SoilSense gives you the data for each.

Start 60-day trialHow SoilSense saves water without costing yield
Multi-depth probes measure moisture (and salinity) in the root zone in real time. The app alerts you when the soil truly needs water — so you skip unnecessary irrigation and prevent stress at critical stages. It's the same principle by which farms reach up to 45% water savings while holding yield.
