FIELD USE GUIDE

1

Switch the device on.

Place the magnet close to the mark on the device until you hear a beep. The next three short beeps will confirm that activation was successful. As the device is delivered in off mode, you only need to switch on once in its lifetime.

2

Locate the correct location.

For the system to work properly, place the device on the crop line, in a humid area near the roots, slightly offset from the dripper, and avoiding any field margin.

3

Install the device in the field.

First, remove surface sand before proceeding. If the area is stony, it is recommendable to drill a hole first. This will prevent possible sensor damage. Then completely bury the probe rod (20 cm) in sandy soils. Do not overstrain the probe when inserting into the ground; especially do not hammer the top to insert it.

4

Link the device to your field using the mobile app.

From the App, scan the QR code on top of the device to link it to the field you’ve chosen. Once the process is finished, you should see “Sensor active” on the newly created farm.

5

Power off the device.

Bring the magnet close to the mark on the device until you hear seven beeps. The next long beep will confirm that deactivation has been successful.

My Fields: Nematode model

This screen shows a list of all the fields you have created. For the Nematode Model, each colour corresponds to a different level of development. This example shows what each colour means.

Green (<80%): Wait for a treatment recommendation.

Orange (>80%): Treatment recommendation time coming soon.

Red (100%): Treatment now recommended.

Blue (100%): Treatment time now over. Wait for green colour.

Start: Solarization model

With the sensor installed under the plastic, click on the “Start Solarization” button. The application shows the number of cumulative hours above 38 °C, along with a scale that will help you to interpret solarization quality.

My Fields: Solarization model

The “My fields” screen also shows fields in Solarization. This example shows some of the efficiency levels provided by the application.

Values are for degrees/hours above 38 °C calculated automatically by the device.

Excellent solarization: >3,000 °C.

Good solarization: >1,500 °C.

Moderate solarization: >500 °C.
Low solarization: >50 °C.

Null solarization: <50 °C.

Nematool alerts

Nematool sends alerts automatically even if your phone is locked. This means you don’t need to access the application continuously to know when treatment is recommended.

Temperature reading only

By selecting this option, you’ll be able to analyse your ground temperature without having to activate any of the models.
