Monterey Pacific
I have used GroPoint sensors and dataloggers to schedule deficit irrigation over thousands of acres of premium winegrapes since 1999. The data on soil moisture status has proved accurate and consistent during and between seasons. Importantly, running a network of 80+ sensors over this time, I have had only 2 sensors and one logger fail from non-mechanical causes. I also have a network of [competitive] loggers/sensors, which demonstrated a 15-25% failure rate in the first 2 seasons.
