AquaSpy
UnderGround Weather is building the world’s largest real-time underground intelligence network for nutrient management. Its Crophesy LS-N system continuously measures soil moisture, nitrate (NO3-N), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), salinity, and temperature in real time, providing a direct view of nutrient availability and movement below ground. This IoT-enabled innovation helps agronomists and growers make more precise fertilizer decisions based on actual field conditions rather than assumptions.
In 2025, UnderGround Weather expanded large-scale deployments in collaboration with leading agricultural companies, agronomists, and input manufacturers across a diverse range of crops and geographies. These field programs generate continuous underground intelligence that supports evaluation of fertilizer practices, nutrient management strategies, and environmental outcomes under real-world growing conditions.
The company’s breakthrough nitrate and ORP data streams are now integrated into UnderGround Weather Reporter™, the world’s first AI soil intelligence reporting engine. The Physical AI Reporter transforms billions of underground measurements into field-specific insights, helping agronomists identify nutrient opportunities, understand soil conditions, and make more informed recommendations throughout the growing season.
With deployments across 16 countries, more than 130 dealers and large-scale growers, and nearly 1 million managed acres, UnderGround Weather has accumulated over 38 billion underground data points. This growing intelligence network spans row crops, specialty crops, and permanent crops across a wide range of climates and production systems.
UnderGround Weather helps the fertilizer industry move beyond estimates and periodic sampling by providing real-time underground intelligence that supports more effective nutrient management, improved nutrient use efficiency, and measurable sustainability outcomes.
Your IFA Innovation Platform Profile
What collaboration are we looking for?
We are seeking go to market partners in Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, particularly nutrient retailers and agronomist consultants offering precision agriculture solutions. We are particularly interested in further developing our platform to support nutrient management as a precision service.
What solutions and opportunities are we offering?
Our technology is particularly valuable for specialty nutrient manufacturers such as biologicals and seed manufacturers interested in real time field data for their own research, or as a value add companion solution that accelerates grower adoption cycles by giving live in-season visibility into the application of specialty nutrients, engineered seeds, stabilizers, or nitrogen fixing products.
