Sentek PLUS combines the scientifically and commercially proven sensor technology of EnviroSCAN, with
web enabled, wireless communication.
In addition to this, Sentek PLUS also has the ability to continuously track fertilizer / salinity data through the
use of TriSCAN sensors. Sentek PLUS can utilise GPRS or NextG communications to send soil water and
fertilizer / salinity data from the probe to the users PC via the internet. Alternatively, it provides for direct in-
field download when services become unavailable in regional areas.
