SoilSentry™ Key Findings

Across all three case studies, SoilSentry™ outperforms the average competitor and is safer to handle.

Sugar Beets

Compared to standard PAM products, SoilSentry™ improves infiltration and is more bio-friendly.

Alfalfa

The Alfalfa field was made more workable with the application of SoilSentry™ , highlighting the versatility of our product in heavy, medium, and light soils.

Lettuce

SoilSentry™ helped improve yield by making soil beds more uniform, thereby reducing seed spillage.

Alfalfa Case Study Summary

Advantages:

  • No channeling
  • No erosion of borders

SoilSentry™ was applied to an alfalfa field in the Imperial Valley of California, after it was initially watered via sprinklers to germinate the crop and establish the stand. The soil was very light and sandy, very prone to cutting and channeling with the high-velocity water flow applied to the field.

Approximately 3.5 to 5 cubic feet of water per second containing SoilSentry™ was applied to the field directly out of the head ditch. Ultimately, with SoilSentry™ in place, there were no visible signs of erosion, no channeling between borders, and no erosion on the borders.

Flood Irrigation: Lateral Off of Head Ditch Shows Turbidity
Initially, the Alfalfa field has a head ditch with lots of sediment running off from the beds. As the test began, SoilSentry™ was introduced at a rate of 3.5 to 5 cubic ft / second.
The SoilSentry™ + Water Mix is Absorbed by the Field
Here we see the fully-saturated Alfalfa field. Now it's time to wait for the water and SoilSentry™ mix to finish absorbing and have a look at the beds.
Alfalfa Field After Treating with SoilSentry™
Despite the soil in this field being very light and sandy, there is no rutting because of the SoilSentry™ additive.
Continued Irrigation of Rows
See the difference yet? There are no signs of erosion and there's no channeling between the borders of the rows.
Tail Water Runs Off Field
Note how clear the water is now, and how little the beds are impacted by the run off. SoilSentry™ is the cause of the reduction in turbidity. Compare this to the "before" view of the head ditch on the next slide.
