Soil temperature in the bed
A single thermometer only tells part of the story. At four depths you see how the warmth moves through the bed.
Crops › Asparagus
Asparagus: know how warm your bed really is.
Soil temperature determines how your asparagus bed behaves. With a dedicated station you measure at the top of the bed and at 10, 20 and 40 cm depth, and follow the trend on your phone.

What matters with asparagus
Frost on the spears
Night frost can damage the spears. With the wet-bulb sensor you get warned in time.
Water and rain
Rainfall and soil moisture matter for the crop. See what the rain actually did on your field.
Measuring in season only
You mostly measure from February to mid-July. With the DATA ASP licence you only pay for that period.
What you measure
This is what you see on your phone
All measurements are in the same app and the same portal, with alarms you set yourself.
- Bed temperature at 4 depths (top, 10, 20 and 40 cm)
- Wet-bulb temperature for frost alarm (optional)
- Rainfall and weather (with a weather station)
