Know Your Soil,
Grow With Confidence
LoRaWAN-connected soil sensors delivering real-time moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity data — no Wi-Fi needed, 15 km range, 2-year battery life.
Sensor range
Three measurements,
one device
Each NuaSense soil sensor probe measures three critical parameters simultaneously — giving you a complete picture of your soil health.
Sensor 01
Soil Moisture
Relative soil moisture measured at two depths. Trigger irrigation only when crops need it, on the trend rather than the calendar.
Sensor 02
Soil Temperature
Precise soil temperature at root level. Optimise planting schedules and predict germination windows with ±0.3°C accuracy.
Sensor 03
EC Sensors
Electrical conductivity reveals salinity and nutrient levels in your soil. Prevent over-fertilisation and protect your crop roots.
How it works
From soil to screen
in four steps
No SIM cards, no Wi-Fi hotspots. LoRaWAN radio technology carries your data from remote fields to your dashboard — battery-powered for 2+ years.
Sensor in the ground
The stainless-steel probe sits 10–60 cm deep. It wakes every 15 minutes, measures moisture, temperature and EC, then transmits a tiny LoRa packet.
LoRa gateway picks it up
One gateway covers up to 15 km line-of-sight, serving hundreds of sensors. No SIM card in the sensor — LoRaWAN radio does the work.
Secure cloud pipeline
Data is encrypted and forwarded to the NuaSense cloud over the gateway's 4G/ethernet connection. Redundant storage, 3-year data history.
Alerts & dashboard
View live readings, trends and threshold alerts on the NuaSense dashboard or via SMS. Integrate with your existing farm management system via API.

The most comprehensive agricultural live dataset in East Africa
Your probes read one field. The platform reads everything around it — 31 datasets over a single key, spanning farm telemetry, satellite, climate and market across four East African countries.
- County input prices DAP, urea, CAN, NPK, MOP and TSP in KES per kg — official medians alongside marketplace asking prices. 29 counties · 5 yr
- Satellite demand Cropland NDVI read against each unit’s own seasonal normal, never a national average. 243 units · 8 yr
- Import & trade flows Monthly customs flows: origin countries, volumes, unit cost, and landed cost against local retail. 4 countries · monthly
- Daily news signals East African agriculture reporting read every day and extracted into structured, source-traceable signals. 23 commodities · daily
- World benchmarks Global fertilizer prices in $/mt — the import-cost direction sitting behind every local move. global · monthly
