CropX combines soil sensors, satellite data and agronomic AI to tell growers exactly when, where and how much to irrigate and feed.
CropX built an agronomic analytics platform around its soil sensing hardware. Soil moisture, temperature and salinity readings stream from wireless probes, are fused with satellite imagery, weather and crop models, and come back to growers as concrete irrigation and nutrition recommendations.
The system covers the full agronomic loop — planning, in-season monitoring and harvest analysis — and is used across row crops, orchards and dairy operations in dozens of countries. By focusing on root-zone conditions rather than surface proxies, CropX targets the resource decisions where growers see the fastest return: water, nitrogen and energy.
Water and nitrogen are the two most expensive controllable inputs in most cropping systems, and both are commonly applied on schedules that ignore what is happening in the root zone. CropX’s soil probes measure moisture, temperature and salinity directly, and its models translate those readings plus satellite and weather data into zone-level irrigation and fertility recommendations. Farmers typically start with a few problem fields, see measurable water savings or yield response, and expand from there. The system also flags stress and disease risk early, when corrective action is cheapest. For dairy operations and growers with irrigation infrastructure, tying recommendations to real soil conditions rather than evapotranspiration estimates alone is where the return comes from.
Because recommendations attach to specific zones rather than whole fields, applications follow actual variability, which typically reduces input waste while protecting yield where conditions are most demanding.
What separates durable analytics platforms from dashboards is operational fit — clean data pipelines, domain-specific models, and outputs that land inside the workflows where decisions are actually made rather than in reports nobody acts on.
CropX sells hardware plus subscription software; a free trial is available and plans scale with the number of sensors and fields.
Growers, dairy operations and agronomy advisors seeking precision water and nutrient management with measurable resource savings.
Software evaluation is available through a trial; ongoing use requires hardware plus a subscription.
CropX integrates with irrigation systems and third-party platforms, with data access options for partners.
Compared with satellite-only platforms, CropX adds ground-truth soil data for irrigation precision, at the cost of installing and maintaining sensors.
