The Clear Solution​ With SoilSentry™

In many semi-arid areas, irrigation is a must for viable farmland. But it can also contribute to serious erosion problems which can affect crop stand, uniformity and yield. Whether you use sprinkler or furrow irrigation, as water is applied to the field, soil becomes suspended in the water impacting infiltration, and this can cause a myriad of erosion-induced and costly-to-fix problems. In addition, soil migration and loss can strip topsoil from your field, ultimately affecting soil fertility. Worst of all, it takes up to 100 years to replenish just 1/4” of topsoil! But now there’s a convenient and affordable way to stand guard against soil erosion problems which can affect crop stand, uniformity and ultimately yield—while protecting one of nature’s most precious resources.

Application Guideline

How it Works: In Gravity Irrigation Systems

Small suspended particles, which are picked up by irrigation water as it runs down the furrow, are attracted to the product dissolved in the water. When enough of these small particles surround the SoilSentry™ carbohydrate-based polymer, a stable aggregate is formed which drops from the water stream. These aggregates then “stack up” on each other to form a permeable zone on top of the soil, allowing water and air to penetrate. Since there are no fine particles to fill the void spaces, it prevents the soil from sealing over.

Application

Spray Irrigation: Add by injection

Gravity Irrigation: Add via battery box in head ditch

Fields with slope of 2% or less: 10 gallons of SoilSentry per acre. Refer to label for specific rate information.

Fields with slope greater than 2%: 10 to 30 gallons of SoilSentry per acre based on soil type, slope severity, and rate of water application.

How it Works: Sprinkler Irrigation

When SoilSentry™ is integrated in to the sprinkler water, the carbohydrate-based polymer in the product attracts the dislodged fine particles. Stable aggregates are then formed, creating a permeable network on top of the soil. Since the fines are no longer available to seal off interstitial spaces, water penetrates more freely and less runs off into the furrow. The result is that the soil remains crumbly and manageable, instead of glazing over and forming a hard crust.
