The future of soil surface measurement starts here
Get more out of your soil surface measurements with the CDX technology inside our SOLYX Go push-and-read sensor. With the push of a button, the SOLYX Go measures soil moisture, temperature, bulk electrical conductivity, and pore water electrical conductivity. Designed and proven through rigorous testing, the SOLYX Go provides accurate, repeatable measurements from device to device, season after season, year after year.
That means the SOLYX Go you unbox today will provide consistent measurement accuracy today, tomorrow, and years into the future, and those measurements will agree with any other SOLYX Go used on your site.
Easier EC mapping
Traditional methods of EC mapping assume you are measuring a large area by towing a sensor through an entire crop field, typically in extremely dry conditions or when the soil is at field capacity. This isn’t feasible in every context—small or irregularly shaped sites may be difficult to navigate an instrument sled through, sites prone to soil compaction may be damaged by a towing vehicle, and some applications may just need spot-checks to verify the effectiveness of irrigation and treatment plans.
That’s where the SOLYX Go combined with the SOLYX Go Pro app excel. Generate a complete map of soil moisture, bulk EC, and pore water EC across the soil surface in the time it takes you to walk your site.
Simplified remote sensing validation

lit review of remote sensing methods. It seemed to cover the few other non-commercial resources I could find on the subject.
Remote sensing methods, such as aerial or satellite soil moisture measurements, are often used for their speed and scale of data collection, and validating those measurements is easy with the SOLYX Go. Accurate, consistent, and GPS-tagged measurements in the SOLYX Go app are easy to compare with soil moisture or EC maps created with remote methods for ground-truthing.
Engineered for endurance
Whether you’re measuring soil moisture a few times each season or every day of the year, the SOLYX Go delivers long-term stability and reliability. The aluminum body and retracting needles are designed to provide good soil-to-sensor contact in every measurement, ensuring accuracy in every data point. Robust stainless-steel needles and an epoxy sensor fill resist damage and corrosion, even under harsh conditions.
The result is a push-and-read sensor that’s ready to deliver the data you need every time you pick it up.
Data collection, simplified
Every measurement taken by the SOLYX Go is correlated with timestamps and GPS locations by the SOLYX Go Pro app on the mobile device connected to the sensor. Use the SOLYX Go Professional app to review historical measurement data to monitor the effectiveness of your irrigation strategy, or look at a daily map of measurements to easily identify portions of your turfgrass receiving too little—or too much—water.
Even better, this data can be imported into a ZENTRA Cloud project, allowing you to access and visualize SOLYX Go data from any web-connected device. Share your data directly with clients, stakeholders, groundskeepers, or other project team members with a link, or download it for further analysis in third-party software.
