◀◀ Application Scenarios ▶▶

1. Precision Cannabis Cultivation
• Medical & Recreational Grow Operations – Monitor substrate moisture and EC levels in real-time to optimize irrigation and nutrient delivery for maximum cannabinoid production.
• Automated Greenhouse Systems – Integrate with SDI-12 controllers to enable data-driven irrigation schedules, reducing water waste while preventing over/under-watering.
2. High-Value Crop Production
• Cocoa & Coconut Coir Nurseries – Ensure ideal moisture retention in organic substrates during critical growth phases.
• Hydroponic & Vertical Farms – Fine-tune water content in soilless media (e.g., coco coir, peat blends) to enhance yield consistency.
3. Research & Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)

• University Trials – soil EC moisture data-BGT Study substrate-water dynamics in cocoa or cannabis with standardized SDI-12 data logging.

•Pharmaceutical-Grade Cultivation – Maintain audit-ready environmental records for compliance in regulated markets.

4. Plug-and-Play Deployment

•Retrofit Existing Systems – The 3.5mm jack interface allows quick installation in legacy monitoring setups without rewiring.

•Mobile Field Testing – Portable SDI-12 readers (e.g., handheld meters) can connect via the headphone jack for spot-checking substrate conditions.

◆◆ One Sensor, Three Critical Metrics

The BGT-SEC(Z2) Soil Sensor is your ultimate tool for mastering soil health. Measure moisture, temperature, and EC in real time with lab-grade accuracy – perfect for optimizing irrigation, preventing salt buildup, and boosting crop yields.

◆◆ Integrate Effortlessly, Scale Confidently
